Organizers Said They Would Escalate Actions If the Government Does Not Address Their Concerns by the Deadline

Protesters in South Africa have given undocumented migrants until September 30 to leave the country, threatening larger demonstrations if their demand is not met. The ultimatum was issued during a protest in Pretoria, where demonstrators accused foreign nationals of taking jobs and contributing to crime. Organizers said they would escalate actions if the government does not address their concerns by the deadline. Police have urged calm, while migrant advocacy groups condemned the ultimatum as xenophobic and called for dialogue.
