The anti-immigrant attitude is common in South Africa. But in recent months it has taken an organised shape in the form of a rapidly growing populist movement. Young people united as the movement called « Operation Dudula » are demanding that illegal immigrants be sent home. The ruling party, the ANC, will have to respond. Authorities are firm in their stance of: « No jobs for undocumented migrants », but the situation can quickly get out of hand. Nobody wants to relive the tensions of 2008, 2015 and 2019.
