The issue of immigration has led to demonstrations on the streets of cities across South Africa. Protest groups had set today as the deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country.

With increasing attacks on African immigrants, even those living legally in the country are scared ahead of an unofficial deadline for illegal foreigners to leave the country.

Protesters have told all undocumented foreigners to leave South Africa by Tuesday, ahead of anti-immigrant rallies that many fear will turn violent.
