Many people in South Africa are angry. They want foreign people without papers to leave the country.

許多南非人感到憤怒，他們希望沒有合法文件的外國人離開該國。

Some groups tell migrants to leave. There were 120 marches. Police arrested 900 people. Some people died. These groups also stop migrants from using hospitals and schools.

有些團體要求移民離開。曾發生過 120 場遊行，警方逮捕了 900 人，部分人死亡。這些團體還阻止移民使用醫院和學校。

Many people in South Africa do not have jobs. The government is also poor. Some people blame migrants for these problems. But migrants are a very small group. Experts say the real problems are old laws and bad leaders.

許多南非人失業，政府也很貧窮。有些人將這些問題歸咎於移民。但移民其實是一個非常小的群體。專家表示真正的問題在於陳舊的法律和糟糕的領導層。

President Ramaphosa says the borders have problems. He says violence is wrong. But the government still sends thousands of migrants back to their own countries. This makes other countries angry.

總統拉馬福沙表示邊境存在問題，他認為暴力是不正確的。但政府仍然將數千名移民遣返回原籍國，這引起了其他國家的不滿。

The situation is still dangerous. More protests are coming. Migrants do not feel safe.

情況依然危險，將會有更多抗議活動，移民感到不安全。

South Africa is currently seeing a rise in anti-migrant protests and violence. These demonstrations are characterized by demands for the government to remove undocumented foreign nationals from the country.

南非目前正出現反移民抗議與暴力事件增加的現象。這些示威的特點在於要求政府將沒有合法文件的外國國民驅逐出境。

The current instability was caused by a group of civil society organizations, such as the March & March movement, which set a deadline for migrants to leave. This movement has led to about 120 marches, resulting in over 900 arrests and several deaths, including citizens from Mozambique and Ghana. The Western and Eastern Cape provinces had the highest number of arrests. Furthermore, groups like Operation Dudula and March & March have systematically blocked migrants from accessing essential public services.

目前的動盪是由一群公民社會組織引起的，例如「March & March」運動，該運動為移民設定了離開的期限。這場運動導致了約 120 場遊行，造成 900 多人被捕，以及數人死亡，包括來自莫三比克與加納的公民。西開普省與東開普省的逮捕人數最高。此外，像 Operation Dudula 和 March & March 這樣的組織，系統性地阻止移民使用基本的公共服務。

There are several socioeconomic reasons for this unrest, including an unemployment rate of over 40%, deep inequality, and failing public infrastructure. While protesters blame migrants—who make up less than 5% of the population—human rights organizations argue that these claims are incorrect. They emphasize that the crisis is actually a result of the legacy of apartheid, government corruption, and poor management. Additionally, the Xenowatch platform suggests that these protests are a political tool, noting that the state has failed to punish violence and that some movements are linked to political figures.

這次動亂有幾個社會經濟原因，包括失業率超過 40%、深刻的不平等以及失效的公共基礎設施。雖然抗議者將責任歸咎於移民——而移民僅佔人口不足 5%——但人權組織認為這些主張是不正確的。他們強調，危機實際上是種族隔離制度的遺產、政府腐敗以及管理不善的結果。此外，Xenowatch 平台指出這些抗議是一種政治工具，並提到國家未能懲罰暴力行為，且部分運動與政治人物有關聯。

President Cyril Ramaphosa has taken a mixed approach. He has acknowledged that concerns about border control and public services are valid, but he has also condemned illegal violence. However, the government has mostly treated the violence as a simple police matter. This lack of strong leadership, combined with the deportation of thousands of migrants, threatens to damage regional diplomacy, trade, and the ability to attract skilled workers.

總統西里爾·拉馬福薩採取了混合方式。他承認對邊境管制與公共服務的擔憂是合理的，但他也譴責非法暴力。然而，政府大多將暴力事件視為單純的警察事務。這種缺乏強力領導的情況，加上驅逐數千名移民，恐將損害區域外交、貿易以及吸引專業人才的能力。

The situation remains unstable, as more protests are planned and there is still a gap between the government's words and the actual safety of migrants.

局勢依然不穩定，因為更多抗議活動已在計劃中，且政府的言論與移民實際的安全性之間仍存在差距。

South Africa is currently experiencing a surge in anti-migrant demonstrations and violence, characterized by demands for the expulsion of undocumented foreign nationals.

南非目前正經歷一波反移民示威與暴力事件，其特點是要求驅逐無合法文件的外國國民。

The current instability is precipitated by a coalition of civil society organizations, including the March & March movement, which established an arbitrary deadline for the departure of migrants. This mobilization has manifested in approximately 120 marches, resulting in over 900 arrests and multiple fatalities, including reports from Mozambique and Ghana of citizen deaths. The Western and Eastern Cape provinces recorded the highest densities of arrests. Concurrently, the Operation Dudula and March & March movements have systematically obstructed migrant access to essential public services.

目前的動盪是由一群公民社會組織所引發的，包括「March & March」運動，該運動為移民的離境設定了一個任意的期限。此次動員已演變成約 120 場遊行，導致 900 多人被捕，並造成多起死亡事件，包括來自莫三比克與加納的公民死亡報告。西開普省與東開普省的逮捕密度最高。同時，「Operation Dudula」與「March & March」運動系統性地阻礙移民獲取基本的公共服務。

Socioeconomic drivers for this unrest include an unemployment rate exceeding 40%, systemic inequality, and the degradation of public infrastructure. While demonstrators attribute these failures to the migrant population—estimated by official statistics to comprise less than 5% of the total population—human rights organizations and analysts argue that such claims are fallacious. They posit that the crisis is a consequence of the apartheid legacy, institutional corruption, and administrative mismanagement. Furthermore, the Xenowatch platform suggests that this mobilization is a political enterprise facilitated by the state's failure to censure violence, noting links between the March & March movement and associates of former President Jacob Zuma, as well as rhetoric from the ActionSA party.

此次動亂的社會經濟驅動因素包括失業率超過 40%、系統性不平等以及公共基礎設施的退化。雖然示威者將這些失敗歸咎於移民群體——官方統計估計移民僅佔總人口不足 5%——但人權組織與分析師認為此類主張是錯誤的。他們認為危機是種族隔離遺產、制度性腐敗與行政管理不善的後果。此外，「Xenowatch」平台指出，此次動員是一場政治企劃，由於國家未能譴責暴力而得以促成，並指出「March & March」運動與前總統雅各布·祖馬的關聯者以及「ActionSA」政黨的言論之間存在聯繫。

President Cyril Ramaphosa has adopted a dualistic approach, acknowledging the validity of grievances regarding border management and public service pressure while simultaneously condemning vigilantism. Despite these assertions, the administration has largely categorized the violence as a matter of law and order. This lack of decisive moral leadership, combined with the expulsion of thousands of migrants—including 15,000 returnees to Malawi—threatens to undermine regional diplomacy, trade, and the acquisition of skilled labor.

總統西里爾·拉馬福沙採取了雙軌做法，在承認邊境管理與公共服務壓力等訴求合理性的同時，譴責私刑行為。儘管有此主張，政府在很大程度上將暴力事件定格為治安問題。這種缺乏果斷道德領導的情況，加上驅逐數千名移民（包括 15,000 人返回馬拉威），恐將損害區域外交、貿易以及專業人才的獲取。

The situation remains volatile, with continued protests scheduled and a persistent disconnect between state rhetoric and the reality of migrant insecurity.

局勢依然動盪，後續仍有預定的抗議活動，且國家層面的論述與移民面臨的不安全現實之間仍存在持續的脫節。
