King Calls for Calm as Immigration Crisis Escalates
Description
Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelithini urges calm amid rising tensions over illegal immigration, condemning violent protests as harmful to South Africa’s continental reputation and reminding citizens that poverty drives migration—not violence. He’s personally engaged with protest leaders to prevent harm. Meanwhile, government and security forces brace for escalating unrest as a controversial, legally void deadline—set by anti-immigrant group March and March—approaches, prompting evacuations from Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi. Ghana has already repatriated 1,000 citizens, Nigeria over 260. The acting police minister convened emergency planning sessions with provincial leaders and defense officials to monitor demonstrations and stabilize volatile zones. President Ramaphosa affirmed South Africa’s concerns have been shared with African leaders, with diplomatic talks on migration set to begin this week. Major labor unions also warned workers that participating in June 30th protests will not be protected under labor law.
