YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

What's behind the current wave in South Africa of anti-migrant protests? For weeks, groups have marched through parts of the country ordering undocumented foreigners to leave by the end of June. Several countries have repatriated hundreds of their citizens, including Nigerians who left on Wednesday night this week. At least two Mozambican citizens have been killed in the violence. It's the latest in a recurring wave of xenophobic unrest, that has left foreigners, even those with legal documents, worried for their safety.
