South Africa is on high alert as the country prepares for planned anti-illegal immigration protests expected to take place on Tuesday, 30 June.
Law enforcement agencies have increased security in several provinces following calls by anti-illegal immigration groups for nationwide demonstrations. Authorities say they are prepared to maintain law and order and have urged citizens to remain calm.
Government has stressed that 30 June is a normal working day and has dismissed claims circulating on social media that the country will experience an official national shutdown. Officials have warned that while peaceful protests are protected by the Constitution, acts of violence, intimidation, road blockades and vigilantism will not be tolerated.
In recent weeks, growing tensions surrounding illegal immigration have led to protests in parts of the country, while some foreign nationals have chosen to leave South Africa or seek temporary shelter due to fears of possible violence. Humanitarian organisations continue to monitor the situation closely.
Business owners, commuters and schools are expected to closely monitor developments throughout Tuesday, particularly in provinces where demonstrations have been announced. Security agencies have assured the public that officers will be deployed to respond to any incidents that may arise.
