from POWER Perspective · host POWER98.7
June 30 is no longer just a protest date; it has become a major pressure point in South Africa'salready tense debate about illegal immigration, border control, unemployment, crime, and thestate's ability to enforce its own laws.The core difficulty is that illegal immigration is, by nature, hidden and hard to measure.Estimates of undocumented migrants in South Africa range widely—from about 2.5 million to asmany as 12 million—depending on the source and methodology used. That uncertainty mattersdeeply because it leaves plenty of room for fear, politics, and public frustration to fill the gaps.
