Members of civil society groups and human rights organisations take part in a march calling for stronger government action against illegal immigration in Pretoria, South Africa, April 28, 2026.
Videos of South Africans hunting African migrants like animals and beating them viciously have gone viral on social media. Even sick migrants seeking medical assistance at hospitals are ferreted out and chased away like animals.
A few years ago, we saw black South Africans setting African migrants alight. Onlookers laughed as victims hobbled in agony as flames consumed them. Even Apartheid police did not set their victims alight.
