A protest campaign against African immigrants living and working in South Africa has forced thousands of people to flee the country. Police in South Africa arrested more than 900 people during just one day of protests last month. Organizers blame migrants for the country’s high unemployment, deteriorating public services and crime. #Heat #SouthAfrica #Protests #Immigration #unemployment Guests: Ebrahim Rasool is a former South African Ambassador to the United States.
