Government must act ahead of 30 June mob deadline and assert rule of law (opens original article in a new tab)

South Africa's government is urged to act against a private movement's unlawful 30 June deadline for foreign nationals, as it violates constitutional rights and the rule of law.

• The 30 June deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa has no legal authority.
• The government is urged to enforce the law and protect the rights of those with valid documentation or pending applications.
• Private groups using intimidation and social media to enforce the deadline are violating constitutional rights.
