Many people protested in South Africa on June 30, 2026. They wanted foreigners without papers to leave the country.

2026年6月30日，許多人在南非抗議。他們要求沒有證件的外國人離開這個國家。

Some groups told foreigners to leave by June 30. Four people died in the violence. Thousands of migrants had to leave their homes. Many people in South Africa are poor and do not have jobs. They are angry at foreigners.

某些團體要求外國人在6月30日前離開。暴力事件導致四人死亡。數以千計的移民被迫離開家園。南非許多人生活貧困且沒有工作，因此對外國人感到憤怒。

Protesters say foreigners cause crime and take jobs. But foreigners say they are scared. Some landlords told them to leave. Some bosses fired them from their jobs.

抗議者聲稱外國人導致犯罪增加並搶奪工作。但外國人表示他們感到恐懼。一些房東要求他們搬走，一些老闆則將他們解雇。

President Ramaphosa wants to stop this. Police arrested 50,000 people without papers. Other African countries helped their people go home. More than 25,000 people left South Africa. The army used big cars and planes to keep cities safe.

總統拉馬福薩希望阻止此事。警方逮捕了5萬名沒有證件的人。其他非洲國家協助其國民返鄉。超過2萬5千人離開了南非。軍隊使用大型車輛和飛機來維持城市安全。

The situation is still dangerous. Police are in the streets to stop more fighting.

情況依然危險。警察在街道上巡邏以阻止更多衝突。

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。

South Africa experienced widespread demonstrations on June 30, 2026, as various groups demanded the removal of undocumented foreign nationals from the country.

2026年6月30日，南非爆發大規模示威，各個團體要求將無合法文件的外籍人士驅逐出境。

The current instability is predicated upon an unofficial deadline of June 30, established by citizen-led vigilante groups and minor political entities, including the organization 'March and March.' This mobilization has resulted in the deaths of at least four individuals—specifically nationals of Malawi, Ethiopia, and Mozambique—and the displacement of thousands of migrants. The phenomenon is characterized by a convergence of economic insecurity, high unemployment rates exceeding 30%, and perceived systemic governance failures. Consequently, these socio-economic grievances have been redirected toward foreign populations, a process described by academic observers as the weaponization of grassroots democracy.

目前的動盪源於由公民自發的維安團體與小型政治實體（包括「March and March」組織）設定的6月30日非正式期限。此次動員已導致至少四人死亡——分別為馬拉威、衣索比亞與莫三比克國民——並造成數千名移民流離失所。此現象的特徵在於經濟不安全感、超過30%的高失業率以及被視為系統性治理失敗的交集。因此，這些社會經濟不滿被轉向外籍人口，學術觀察家將此過程描述為「草根民主的武器化」。

Stakeholder positioning reveals a stark dichotomy. Protesters, some appearing in traditional Zulu attire, assert that undocumented migrants exacerbate crime and monopolize economic opportunities. Conversely, migrant communities report systemic vulnerabilities, including arbitrary evictions by landlords and termination of employment due to fear of retaliation. The South African government, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, has attempted a dual-track approach: intensifying crackdowns on undocumented immigration—with over 50,000 arrests since January—while simultaneously warning against vigilantism and the violation of constitutional protections for legal residents.

利益相關者的立場呈現出強烈對比。部分抗議者身穿傳統祖魯服飾，聲稱無文件移民加劇了犯罪並壟斷經濟機會。相反地，移民群體報告面臨系統性脆弱，包括被房東隨意驅逐以及因擔心報復而被終止聘僱。由總統西里爾·拉馬福沙領導的南非政府嘗試採取雙軌方案：一方面加強打擊非法移民——自1月以來已逮捕超過5萬人——同時警告禁止私刑執法，並不得違反對合法居民的憲法保障。

Institutional responses have been unprecedented in their scale and coordination. Several African governments, including those of Nigeria, Malawi, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, have facilitated the voluntary repatriation of their citizens via air and land transport. Authorities report that over 25,000 individuals have been processed for departure. To mitigate the risk of large-scale volatility reminiscent of the 2008 and 2021 unrest, the state implemented a comprehensive security deployment, utilizing armored vehicles and aerial surveillance in urban centers such as Durban and Johannesburg.

制度性回應在規模與協調上均前所未有。包括尼日利亞、馬拉威、迦納、辛巴威與莫三比克在內的多個非洲政府，已透過航空與陸路協助公民自願回國。當局報告指出，已有超過2.5萬人完成出境手續。為降低可能出現類似2008年與2021年動盪的大規模不穩定風險，政府在德班與約翰尼斯堡等城市中心部署了全面的安全措施，運用裝甲車與空中監控。

The situation remains precarious as security forces maintain a high presence to prevent further violence following the expiration of the activists' deadline.

由於激進分子設定的期限已過，安全部隊維持高強度部署以防止進一步暴力，情況依然險峻。
