Johannesburg, South Africa
Across South Africa, thousands of demonstrators converged in various locations to voice their opposition to illegal immigration. Marches took place in several cities, including Johannesburg, Durban, and other locations. Anti-immigrant groups set June 30 as an unofficial deadline for undocumented migrants to leave. The Ministry of Police reported that anti-migrant demonstrations have been largely peaceful so far, though some arrests have been reported.
