Anti-immigrant violence and state complicity in South Africa

South Africa is experiencing a surge in anti-immigrant violence, with marches, murders of Mozambicans, and state-sponsored evacuations drawing international attention. The government's complicity with gangs and vigilantes is undermining its ability to govern. The crisis threatens tourism, trade, diplomacy, and investment in Africa's largest economy, and is derailing the country's constitutional democracy. Many citizens are demanding tighter border controls to restore sovereignty.
