A private movement in South Africa has set June 30 as the deadline for all undocumented migrants to leave the country, a demand with no legal authority. Protesters are amplifying the ultimatum, with reports of growing fear among migrant communities who say 'we fear for our lives.' The movement has been associated with vigilante threats and rising anti-foreigner sentiment. Analysts warn the deadline could trigger unrest or violence despite lacking government backing.
