WATCH LIVE as Gambakwe unpacks the ultimatum for Africans to leave South Africa by 30 June.

Not an official government policy. It is a deadline set by citizen-led, anti-immigration groups.
No legal standing. The South African government has not issued any order for foreign nationals to leave.
Causes real fear. The ultimatum has raised safety concerns and tensions across the country, especially among refugees, asylum-seekers, and documented foreign nationals.

Early 2026: Anti-foreigner protests grow, linked to concerns about jobs, crime, and the economy.
April 29, 2026: Public demonstrations (e.g., by “March and March”) intensify. Social media figures call for removal of undocumented foreigners.
Mid-May 2026: The “June 30” deadline is widely publicized by these groups.
Late May 2026: Tensions rise. Foreign nationals are targeted online and in communities.
May 25, 2026: South African government holds urgent talks with justice, defense, and crime ministers to address xenophobia and prevent violence.
June 30, 2026 (upcoming): The unofficial deadline cited by anti-immigration groups.

Main goals:

Set clear rules for protests – violence and targeting foreigners is not acceptable.
Strengthen workplace inspections (hospitality, trucking, construction, farming).
Boost border security and speed up deportations.
Enforce local trading by-laws.
Combat fake news and viral videos that incite violence.

Also happening:

Diplomatic talks with African nations (e.g., Ghana, Nigeria) to reassure them of foreign nationals’ safety.
Parliament will meet on June 2 to discuss unroadworthy vehicles used to transport undocumented migrants.

Ghana and Nigeria are helping their citizens return home due to security concerns.
Many refugees and documented foreign nationals are living in fear and seeking shelter at reception centers.

Munashe Gumunyu (39) and Ruvimbo Muringayi had a 13-year marriage.
Munashe had an affair with their former housemaid, Prisca Dembe (25), while Ruvimbo was pregnant with their third child.
Munashe rented a room for Prisca, bought her a phone, and later posted her photo as his profile picture – which revealed the affair.
Prisca left to attend nursing school. Ruvimbo confronted her publicly at the school.
Prisca apologized, called the affair “childish,” and said Munashe took back the phone and messaged her friends.
Munashe called it a “moment of madness” and suggested bewitchment.
Ruvimbo said Prisca provoked her by bragging about sleeping with her husband.
