More than 2,000 Zimbabweans are sheltering at a Cape Town processing centre

Time's up.

Anti-immigrant protesters are expected to take to the streets across SA on Tuesday after their deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave the country expired at midnight.

But by first light, police across the country said they had not recorded any major incidents linked to the planned action.

More than 25,000 foreigners had already been bussed out of the country, while thousands more had fled their homes and taken refuge in repatriation centres, consulates and makeshift camps.
