Protesters Demand Safe Housing for Migrants | Johannesburg News

Tensions flare as protesters camp outside Home Affairs offices, demanding urgent government action for displaced migrants—some even sleeping on mats to stay put. Echoing past clashes in September that ended with teargas and arrests, this protest follows June’s anti-immigration demonstrations that forced refugees from their homes and businesses. While locals call the encampment an eyesore and health hazard, refugee leaders accuse some demonstrators of aggression and urge police to separate the groups. Authorities scramble to verify protest permits while maintaining a protective barrier around vulnerable migrants—creating a volatile standoff as both sides push for resolution.
