South Africa experienced widespread protests on June 30, 2026, as various groups demanded that undocumented foreign nationals leave the country.

2026年6月30日，南非爆發大規模抗議，多個團體要求無合法文件的外籍人士離開該國。

The current instability was caused by an unofficial deadline of June 30, set by vigilante groups and small political organizations, such as 'March and March.' This movement has led to the deaths of at least four people from Malawi, Ethiopia, and Mozambique, and has forced thousands of migrants to flee. Experts emphasize that this situation is driven by economic insecurity and high unemployment rates, which are currently over 30%. Consequently, these social and economic problems have been directed toward foreign populations.

目前的動盪是由於民兵團體與小型政治組織（例如「March and March」）設定的6月30日非正式期限所引起。這場運動已導致至少四名來自馬拉威、衣索比亞與莫三比克的公民死亡，並迫使數千名移民逃離。專家強調，此情況是由於經濟不安與高失業率（目前超過30%）所推動。因此，這些社會與經濟問題被轉嫁到了外籍人口身上。

There is a clear disagreement between the different groups involved. Protesters assert that undocumented migrants increase crime and take away job opportunities. On the other hand, migrant communities report that they are vulnerable, facing unfair evictions by landlords and losing their jobs. President Cyril Ramaphosa's government has tried two different strategies: increasing arrests of undocumented immigrants—with over 50,000 since January—while also warning the public against taking the law into their own hands.

參與的不同團體之間存在明顯分歧。抗議者主張無合法文件的移民增加了犯罪率並奪走就業機會。另一方面，移民社群則報告他們處於弱勢，面臨房東不公平的驅逐並失去工作。總統西里爾·拉馬福沙的政府嘗試了兩種不同的策略：一方面增加對無合法文件移民的逮捕（自1月起已超過5萬人），同時警告公眾切勿私自採取法律行動。

In response, several African governments, including Nigeria, Malawi, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, have helped their citizens return home by air and land. Authorities report that more than 25,000 people have been processed for departure. To prevent large-scale violence similar to the unrest in 2008 and 2021, the state deployed armored vehicles and aerial surveillance in major cities like Durban and Johannesburg.

對此，包括奈及利亞、馬拉威、加納、辛巴威與莫三比克在內的數個非洲政府，已透過航空與陸路協助其公民回國。當局報告指出，已有超過2萬5千人完成離境程序。為了防止發生類似2008年與2021年的大規模暴力動盪，政府在德班與約翰尼斯堡等大城市部署了裝甲車與空中監控。

The situation remains unstable as security forces stay on high alert to prevent further violence after the activists' deadline passed.

由於激進分子設定的期限已過，安全部隊仍維持高度戒備以防止進一步暴力，局勢依然不穩定。
