🚨 BREAKING: South Africa has deported or repatriated more than 53,000 undocumented foreign nationals in just ONE MONTH.
Officials say the majority were from:
🇲🇼 Malawi
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe
🇲🇿 Mozambique
The operation follows months of anti-illegal immigration protests, growing public pressure for tougher border enforcement, and continued government crackdowns.
South Africa is also facing unemployment above 30%, with pressure on housing, healthcare, public services and jobs cited as major reasons behind the policy.
Supporters say the move protects national interests and strengthens border security.
Critics argue it raises humanitarian and regional concerns.
Immigration is becoming one of the defining political issues across the world.
Should governments prioritise stricter border enforcement when illegal immigration reaches this scale?
