Foreign nationals in Sunnyside, Pretoria, watched from their balconies on Tuesday as anti-illegal immigration protesters marched through the area to the Sunnyside Police Station, demanding that undocumented foreign nationals leave South Africa.
The mobilisation formed part of nationwide protests held on June 30, during which civic groups called for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country.
The protests, led by March and March together with more than 20 civil society organisations, took place in several parts of the country, with organisers maintaining their demand that undocumented foreign nationals leave South Africa.
When IOL News arrived in the Pretoria CBD, a heavy police presence was visible throughout the city centre.
