Thousands of foreign nationals are leaving South Africa ahead of an unofficial Tuesday deadline set by anti-migrant groups. Since protests began earlier this year, over 12,000 immigrants have been deported or repatriated, with approximately 3,500 foreigners volunteering to leave. Several African nations, including Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe, have organized repatriation efforts by air and bus. South African authorities state over 500 Nigerians repatriated lacked proper documentation, a claim disputed by Nigeria. Further anti-migrant marches are scheduled for Tuesday in Durban, Johannesburg, and other cities.
