Anti-immigrant protests in South Africa have resurfaced, with demonstrators demanding stricter government action against undocumented foreigners.
For months, angry protesters have taken to the streets, targeting foreign workers and issuing deadlines for them to leave the country. A new deadline has been set for September 30.
Thousands of foreign workers have already departed South Africa in recent months due to these pressures.
The demonstrations have frequently turned violent, raising concerns about how the South African government will address the issue of undocumented migrants.
