On June 30, 2026, Africans and the world helplessly watched as South Africa chased ‘undocumented’ nationals from other African countries out of their land in historic anti-migrant protests.
That day marked South Africa’s record protest in history as 120 protest marches were held, out of which 108 were peaceful while 12 were violent.
Sadly, thousands of protesters marched across cities in the country chanting “Abahambe!”, which literally translates to “They must go!”.
For some concerned South Africans, the protests did not represent the wish or stand of every South African citizen, especially the right-thinking ones, who foresee future backlash.
Some of them were worried that the protests were held despite some underground works and appeals from several quarters; pressure groups, investor communities and diplomatic circles.
