South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged citizens not to blame migrants for the country's challenges, warning against attempts to exploit public frustrations amid a recent wave of anti-immigrant unrest and violence. The statement comes as a private movement has set a June 30 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country, and as Malawian migrants have fled a Durban shelter. Ramaphosa's comments aim to calm rising tensions and prevent further violence targeting foreign nationals.
