This factsheet by the Centre for Analytics & Behavioural Change (CABC) documents a pronounced surge in xenophobia in South Africa. During the reporting period of 1 June to 15 August 2026, anti-migrant formations issued an ultimatum calling on undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country, accompanied by a series of marches and protests. The deadline had no official standing and effectively amounted to a vigilante call for undocumented migrants to leave the country.
