Operation Dudula, a group which has been widely accused of xenophobia, will march to the Union Buildings in Tshwane on Thursday, 1 June. The march is against illegal immigration.
OPERATION DUDULA’S MARCH TARGETS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Operation Dudula said more than 35 other organisations would join on Thursday. “No one else except the President of the Republic of South Africa, invited ministers, and Ambassadors should accept our list of demands,” reads a poster for the march.

According to SABC News, the group’s national administrator, Patrick Mokgalusi, said the march is meant to grab President Cyril Ramaphosa’s and other ministers’ attention.
“…to say we are tired of this illegal immigration issue. That we have been preaching for so long but without any success. Now, we are tired, as you can see, these organisations now are more than 35; we demand mass deportation,” said Mokgalusi to the broadcaster.
