The deadline has been set by protesters after waves of anti-migration marches and violent scenes have swept across the country in recent months.
Some people have been killed and there have been reports of vigilante groups carrying out xenophobic attacks.
Four countries have already sent planes and buses to get their nationals out of the country.
The reasons for the latest protests are complex - but many are pointing to South Africa’s high levels of unemployment and growing inequality.
In this episode of the breakdown, Channel 4 News examines why the protests are happening and we speak to Daniel Steyn, from the GroundUp news agency in South Africa, about what happens next.
