Why are anti-migrant attacks increasing in South Africa?
Human Rights Watch warns of rising xenophobic attacks in South Africa. Vigilante groups like Operation Dudula and March and March are leading protests, with migrants facing harassment, job losses, and violence. Many incidents go unreported due to fear. The backlash is fueled by poverty, unemployment, and inequality, with some political parties scapegoating migrants. The constitution protects protest rights but not violence, and international bodies are urging accountability.
