South Africa: Anti-Immigration Groups Promise More Disruptions - South African News Briefs - October 8, 2026
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Anti-illegal immigration groups have vowed to continue disrupting operations at the Home Affairs Refugee Reception Centre in Durban, reports EWN . About 1,000 foreign nationals seeking asylum and other immigration services were chased away by demonstrators carrying sticks and sjamboks. The protests follow a Home Affairs directive allowing all foreign nationals to apply for asylum, regardless of their legal status. This comes after a Constitutional Court ruling found restrictions on such applications unconstitutional.
