South African anti-immigration group to stage weekly protests

DURBAN, South Africa, July 1 — A South African group that organized nationwide anti-immigration demonstrations has released plans to stage weekly protests until the government takes stronger action to remove undocumented migrants.

“We are marching every Thursday for as long as undocumented immigrants remain in the country,” Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, leader of the March and March movement, said Tuesday after thousands of protesters marched through the coastal city of Durban. Protests also took place in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town.
