1 / 6

Anti-immigrant demonstrators in Germiston stormed homes on June 30, 2026, demanding all foreign residents leave the country. Protesters forcibly evicted both documented and undocumented migrants, then handed them over to the authorities. A reporter noted that nobody — “whether you’re elderly or a child, documented or undocumented” — would be spared. This incident follows a self-imposed deadline set by the group for undocumented immigrants to depart. The tense scenes were widely shared on social media and have drawn international condemnation.
