There have been months of anti-immigrant protests and tensions in South Africa. Thousands of undocumented migrants, mostly other Africans, are desperately trying to leave the country, ahead of a June 30 deadline set by activist groups. While President Cyril Ramaphosa has rejected the ultimatum, growing hostility toward foreigners is prompting several neighboring countries to bring their citizens home. Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Cape Town, South Africa.
