South Africa Braces for Anti-Migrant Protest

KwaZulu-Natal province has ramped up security, with Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli and community policing forums urging peaceful demonstrations while warning against vigilantism.

The protests follow months of sporadic anti-migrant sentiment.

Religious leaders have called for calm, and the national government is deploying additional law enforcement.

The demonstrations threaten to disrupt supply chains and stoke xenophobic violence.
