Al Jazeera · Qatar · Anti-migrant marches erupt across South Africa as Operation Dudula deadline expires
Al Jazeera reported that South African police deployed thousands of officers across the country on June 30, with acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia saying police leave had been cancelled and additional resources committed. Three people, including a Malawian man and two Mozambican nationals, were killed in KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape in the days before the deadline. Ramaphosa welcomed assurances that protests would remain peaceful but warned that violence would not be justified under any circumstances.
