Tensions continue to rise in South Africa ahead of a 30 June deadline set by citizen-led groups calling for undocumented migrants to leave the country.

In Durban, dozens of people took part in another anti-migrant march on Saturday. The demonstrations, which have intensified in recent weeks, have at times been marked by violence.

Thousands of migrants and documented refugees have been sleeping outside Home Affairs offices and consulates in cities, including Durban and Cape Town, waiting for repatriation.

Many hoping to flee the country are abandoning belongings accumulated over the years, taking just what they can carry with them.

They say they no longer feel safe in the communities they have been living in, some for decades, and are calling on the authorities to provide protection.
