African Nations Concerned About Some Violent Anti-Illegal Immigration Protests in South Africa Says Lamola International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola says several African countries have raised concerns about the violent nature of some anti-illegal immigration protests in South Africa. Lamola said South Africa's counterparts across the continent recognise the country's right to enforce its immigration laws, but have questioned why some enforcement efforts are accompanied by violence and vigilante actions. He stressed that immigration laws must be enforced by the police and other authorised law enforcement agencies, not by private groups or individuals conducting house-to-house operations. Lamola said the South African government has consistently clarified that such actions do not reflect its position, adding that immigration enforcement must be carried out humanely and in accordance with the Constitution. He also warned that misinformation circulating on social media has become a growing challenge, contributing to negative perceptions of South Africa internationally.

The Democrat elite paints anyone who wants to stop illegal immigration and secure our borders as racist and “anti-immigrant.” They are either very very stupid and don’t understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration, or they’re trying to foment division and curry favor with the illegal immigrants whose votes they’re counting on to win (without ID or proof of citizenship). They don’t care about our country, our security, or the rule of law, and should not be in power.

“If you want to remove illegal foreign nationals, don’t involve the youth. Use your own children,” says South Africa’s Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, as he warns against involving young people in planned action against undocumented migrants on June 30. He argues that immigration enforcement is the responsibility of law enforcement authorities, not civilians or community groups. Gayton McKenzie is one of the most prominent examples of a South African politician who has successfully leveraged immigration and anti-illegal immigration sentiment to build a national political profile. His tough rhetoric on illegal immigration helped distinguish him from larger parties and resonated with sections of the electorate frustrated by crime, unemployment, and weak border controls. The issue became a central pillar of the Patriotic Alliance’s campaigning, particularly in urban areas where concerns about migration were politically salient. He popularised the #Abahambe slogan, a Zulu phrase that translates roughly as “they must go” or “let them leave.” The slogan became closely associated with calls for the removal of undocumented migrants from South Africa and helped elevate immigration as a major political issue in public discourse. Supporters viewed it as a demand for stronger immigration enforcement, while critics argued that it risked fuelling anti-immigrant sentiment and hostility towards foreign nationals.

King Misuzulu’s Office has issued a statement clarifying that concerns about illegal immigration should not be treated as a “Zulu issue” or directed solely at the Zulu King. In the statement, Prince Thulani Zulu, the spokesperson for King Misuzulu, states that illegal immigration is a national matter affecting all South Africans, communities, and provinces, and that citizens have a constitutional right to raise concerns about issues impacting their safety, livelihoods, resources, and public services. The King’s office rejects attempts to single out AmaZulu or His Majesty, describing such actions as divisive and inaccurate. The statement argues that the focus should be on addressing the impact of illegal immigration rather than creating tribal divisions. The statement further calls on the media to report facts responsibly and avoid framing the issue in a way that promotes tribal conflict. According to the King’s office, King Misuzulu remains a symbol of unity and will not be drawn into narratives that divide South Africans. It also warns against using AmaZulu as scapegoats for what it describes as a national challenge.

Empty waiting rooms reported at Letaba Hospital amid anti-illegal immigration protests Letaba Hospital in Limpopo's Mopani District has experienced unusually quiet waiting areas in recent days as anti-illegal immigration protests continue. The hospital, which serves as the district's main referral facility for five municipalities, is typically busy with patients seeking medical care. However, staff and visitors have reported a noticeable drop in the number of people visiting the hospital since the demonstrations began. The development comes as anti-illegal immigration protests continue in parts of South Africa, with some groups opposing undocumented foreign nationals' access to public healthcare facilities. Similar scenes have also been reported at several clinics and hospitals in other areas. South African law provides for emergency medical treatment regardless of a person's immigration status. Health authorities have previously cautioned that disruptions or intimidation at healthcare facilities could affect access to essential medical services and place lives at risk. At the time of publication, neither Letaba Hospital nor the Limpopo Department of Health had issued a detailed statement on the situation.

There is a massive anti-migrant protest in South Africa right now and I have not seen anyone in the media covering it! What do you notice about the protestors? These are black Africans who are tired of migrants coming in from other parts of Africa and draining the system. They frame their actions as “putting South Africans first,” demanding stricter border controls, mass deportations, and enforcement of immigration laws. Signs commonly seen include “NO TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS”, “Go Home”, “FOREIGNERS STOP!!!”, and “MABAHAMBE”. No wonder the mainstream media doesn't want you to see this!

[WATCH] ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION What people don’t understand when they argue that the ANC promotes illegal immigration and is for illegal immigration, what they deliberately misunderstand is that we are firm on the law. The law must take its course and the state alone must enforce laws, because it’s got the responsibility to do that. We have not opposed people who have publicly protested the issue of illegal immigration but have called for those protests to occur within the confines of the law. No citizen of our country must take the law unto their own hands, chase people, show hatred and call people “amakwerekwere”. That is not ubuntu, that is not South African. These are Africans, and they might have landed in our country illegally and we believe that lawfully as we are seeing our government at this moment, they must be assisted to go back home peacefully. We must protect our borders as BMA is doing because they are too porous. Let us not make it possible for illegal immigration to flourish in our country. #RegisterToVoteANC #LGE2026

I want my followers to understand that you SHOULDN’T insult South Africa as a country based on a few loud voices on social media who express racist or xenophobic views. South Africa has provided numerous opportunities to the world, particularly to Africans. If South Africans were truly xenophobic, Africans would not be living there in such large numbers today. The majority of South Africans are welcoming to all foreigners who are legally in the country and do not commit crimes. These foreigners work with South Africans, live with them, and many are married to South Africans. There is nothing to worry about in South Africa if you are there legally and not committing crimes. South African citizens have the right to express concerns about illegal foreign nationals and those who commit crimes. In Zimbabwe, illegal foreigners are often placed in dilapidated jails, and refugees are housed in camps like Tongogara in Manicaland. Generalisations are dangerous, especially when they taint and insult a silent majority that is not xenophobic. Local communities in South Africa have protected foreign nationals from a small, violent minority on many occasions. The South African government is not xenophobic either. If it were, Zimbabwean women, who make up 70% of pregnant women giving birth at Musina Hospital in Limpopo, would not be allowed there. We should be grateful for the South African hospitality we have received for decades. It is important to recognise that while xenophobia and racism may exist in certain pockets of society, these attitudes do not reflect the majority of South Africans or the country as a whole. Respecting the rights of South African citizens to voice concerns about illegal immigration and crime is important, as these are valid issues. However, it is equally important to avoid generalising these concerns to portray the entire nation as xenophobic or unwelcoming. If South Africans were truly xenophobic, parties like PA and Action SA would be in power today. The four largest political parties in South Africa have never used xenophobia as a campaign platform, which should be telling. Do not judge a nation's character based on a few loud, yet inconsequential voices on social media. They do not represent South Africa accurately. Countries are a product of their history. We shouldn’t draw comparisons with where we come from and insist that our hosts should behave as we do. If South Africans were to follow our practices in Zimbabwe, refugees would be in camps and illegal foreigners would be in jail! In Zimbabwe, refugees are not even allowed to work, if you are found working, you are thrown into jail. South Africa, on the other hand, provides equal legal rights in its courts to foreigners as it does to South Africans. These actions are not those of a xenophobic country. Zimbabwe has refused to issue documents to people of Malawian and Zimbabwean origin, and it has revoked the citizenships of many Zimbabweans whose great-grandparents came from elsewhere. In any society, you are going to have opportunistic politicians and unemployables who think that all their problems are caused by foreigners, we have them everywhere, but they shouldn’t be used to define a whole nation!

UDM Deputy President Nqabayomzi Kwankwa has told President Cyril Ramaphosa that the UDM stands with South Africans on the growing issue of illegal immigration. Kwankwa says the UDM is calling for the enforcement of South Africa’s laws, arguing that no country should be expected to turn a blind eye to undocumented immigrants. He further stated that those questioning why marchers are not targeting white illegal immigrants should understand that communities are addressing the challenges they face directly, saying African immigrants are the ones most often competing with locals for jobs, housing, and participation in the local economy. Kwankwa also argued that South Africa appears to be the only country where enforcing immigration laws is labelled as immoral, while other nations routinely enforce their immigration policies without facing the same criticism.

Nigeria has been taking action South Africa! Chad's deportation of Nigerians was a wake-up call. In April 2026, Chadian authorities rounded up hundreds of Nigerians, many of whom had sought refuge from Boko Haram, and deported them . They were told, "All Nigerian refugees are Boko Haram and should leave your country" . This is the brutal reality of regional migration when your own government cannot protect you from insurgency, your neighbours will treat you as the enemy. But Nigeria is also acting on its own borders. In April 2026, the Nigeria Immigration Service arrested 107 foreign nationals in Adamawa State including 77 Cameroonians, 21 Nigeriens, 6 Burkinabe, and 3 Chadians for illegal residence and suspected involvement in job scams . Ogun State also arrested 70 foreigners from Niger, Chad, and Sudan, who could not explain their presence or even speak English . The government has made it clear: they will be deported through proper immigration channels . In 2024 alone, Nigeria deported 828 illegal immigrants, primarily from Chad, Niger, Benin, and Cameroon . The NIS estimates that 300,000 illegal immigrants are currently in the country . Nigeria is finally treating this as a security crisis because porous borders have allowed smuggling, human trafficking, and even insurgency movements to flourish . Academic research has linked the spread of Boko Haram directly to the influx of migrants from Niger and Chad . Nigeria is doing exactly what South Africa is being condemned for. They are deporting illegal immigrants. They are securing their borders. And they are calling it a security threat because it is. But in South Africa it’s called xenophobia. Every sovereign nation has the right to protect its people. Nigeria is exercising that right. South Africa must do the same. We are not xenophobic. We are simply doing what Nigeria and every other nation does. Our leaders house don’t have the balls to acknowledge it 🇿🇦✊🏾

President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia - where the ANC and its military wing uMkhonto weSizwe, together with their closest ally, Zapu and Zipra from Zimbabwe, were based during the liberation struggle - says xenophobic and violent anti-immigrant protests against black African migrants is wrong and must be stopped. Hichilema was echoing the same grave concerns expressed by many other African leaders, ordinary Africans and the world over the xenophobic, Afrophobic and ethnophobic attacks on foreigners by vigilante groups like tMarch and March led by Jacinta Zinhle Ngobese-Zuma who is rabidly anti-black immigrants. Her organisation was even promoting tribal prejudice and hate songs, especially against the Shangani people. As a result, the world is saying to South Africa, every country has sovereign authority to enforce its laws and deal with illegal migration, but no one has a right to treat other people - Africans in this case - in an inhuman, violent and cruel manner. South Africa, people across the continent say, must address the issue of illegal immigrants through its own constitution and the law, not vigilantism, lawlessness and barbarism. Ordinary South Africans blame immigrants for unemployment, crime, drugs, social service delivery failures, and social decay, among many other things. Vigilante groups have been taking the law into their own hands and going to clinics and schools to harass and block immigrants from accessing public services. They have been going around asking people for their IDs or passports - apartheid-style - claiming to be "cleaning up" the country, which is all unlawful. Further, they also have been invading small-to-medium enterprises, purporting to be flushing out foreigners, harassing owners and closing some of them, to justify extortion and looting at times. These ugly scenes have angered large parts of Africa and the world, while damaging the country's reputation. However, the majority of South Africans - who understand how the economy and the world work - do not support vigilante groups, xenophobia and violence. Most South Africans are not xenophobic, but have concerns about illegal immigration and its impact on their country and society. African leaders agree that illegal immigration must be addressed, but condemn the xenophobic and Afrophobic hostility and violence by anti-immigrant groups and extremists. Hichilema reminded South Africa how his country and many others sacrificed so much helping black South Africans to be free. Countries in the region supported, sheltered, fed, trained, funded and protected South African freedom fighters at a huge human life and financial cost at the height of the anti-apartheid struggle. Over one million people died and billions were lost in the region during apartheid South Africa's campaign of destabilisation which destroyed infrastructure, utilities and stopped development in other countries. Frontline States and other African countries helped South Africa to gain freedom through political, diplomatic, material, financial and logistical support. Vigilante group leaders, who thrive on propaganda, false narratives and exaggerated statistics, either ignore or don't know all that. So, Africans say South Africa does not owe these countries and their people anything, but it should never forget their sacrifices - the human life, financial and logistical costs on its behalf - when dealing with illegal immigrants and relating to blacks. In other words, they are saying South Africa must deal with illegal immigration without forgetting where it comes from, especially the black people whose history and destiny is tied to the rest of other Africans across the continent.

LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonnell declared ONCE AGAIN Sunday night at a press conference that his cops won’t help ICE arrest dangerous illegal immigrants, even as his city’s torched by radical leftist protesters and possibly illegal immigrants. “I also want to be unequivocally clear. The Los Angeles Police Department does not participate in or coordinate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on civil immigration enforcement. We’ve said this over and over again, and I can’t stress it enough for the people in our community that have high levels of anxiety about this issue.” “We want everybody to believe and be able to call the LAPD in time of need if they’ve been a victim of a crime or a witness to a crime. We need that.”

There are people in our country who have taken it upon themselves to do things which the vast majority do not condone and this must not paint South Africans as xenophobic. Indeed we do have a challenge of illegal immigration in South Africa and it’s not a problem unique to South Africa. There are many country’s affected by this. South Africa is a signatory of the Geneva Convention and we must deal with this challenge within the perimeters of the law. We can’t deal with it with hatred. That is why government has adopted a program of action to deal with this particular challenge which the President has made a public announcement. We have called for law enforcement and calmness and follow the government’s Action Plan on dealing with illegal immigration. We have made it very clear as the ANC, we cannot and should not be associated with anything that amounts to hate crimes. In this particular instance the majority of South Africans are people of Ubuntu and humanity. Because we too would not be free without the solidarity and assistance of country’s such as Mozambique in the fight against apartheid. Many people sacrificed such as Samora Machel the President of Mozambique and many combatants died here fighting against apartheid. #ANCinMozambique #ANCatWORK
