Anti-Immigrant Marches Erupt Across South Africa

Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched across South Africa on Tuesday, demanding undocumented migrants leave the country in the culmination of a weeks-long xenophobic campaign led by the March and March movement.

Police used rubber bullets in Johannesburg as protests turned violent, while the military was deployed to flashpoint townships.

Businesses closed and foreign workers stayed home as the unofficial deadline for migrants to self-deport expired.

March and March, led by Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, has vowed to continue weekly protests and called for six months of national shutdown.
