Posting on his Facebook Page, philanthropist and Zimbabwean businessman, Moreboys Munetsi, who is based in South Africa, said, the situation is dire.<\/p>\n
He called for more support from well-wishers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people have been living on the open space for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe interviewed some women who gave birth at this place, most of them were looking traumatised.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of them complained about pain, and no one has visited a hospital or clinic for a medical checkup, including newborn babies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many women who are pregnant, and the number is increasing daily.<\/p>\n
\u201cMalawian government will not be able to provide buses for its citizens, SADC, AU, and United Nations must help.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can do more to help our brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour R50 donation to the Greathope foundation will help us for us to buy diapers, sanitary pads, and tinned milk for the women and children.\u201d<\/p>\n
South Africa has become a hostile place for undocumented migrants, as a deadline set by protesters for them to leave the country approaches.<\/p>\n
An anti-immigration group in South Africa gave undocumented foreign nationals until June 30, 2026, to leave the country amid growing tensions over illegal immigration.<\/p>\n
The group, known as March and March, has been leading nationwide protests demanding the mass deportation of undocumented migrants, arguing that they contribute to unemployment, crime, and pressure on public services.<\/p>\n
However, the South African government has clarified that it did not issue the June 30 ultimatum, warning that only state authorities have the power to enforce immigration laws and urging citizens not to take the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n
President Cyril Ramaphosa has condemned xenophobic violence linked to the protests and vowed to act against groups inciting lawlessness.<\/p>\n
Several African countries, including Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Mozambique, have already begun assisting some of their citizens affected by the recent unrest in South Africa.<\/p>\n
