A protest leader and South African Police Service (SAPS) officers confront each other in front of a business premises during a demonstration calling for the removal of undocumented immigrants in Alexandra township on July 30, 2026. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called on July 27 for African countries to work together to manage migration, as his government faces mounting pressure over attacks on foreign nationals. Ramaphosa's appeal to the Pan-African Parliament follows weeks of anti-migrant protests in South Africa, where xenophobic activists and fringe groups have blamed undocumented migrants from elsewhere in Africa for crime, unemployment and strain on public services.
