Mchunu confirmed that the next phase of the campaign is scheduled to take place from 27 to 29 April, following a series of demonstrations in Durban’s central business district (CBD) over the weekend.

Social media reacts

"Real question is: is it really against undocumented immigrants or just ‘foreigners’? Will they assault a medical doctor from Kenya who is documented, telling her to go be a Doctor in her country? There’s a fine line between Xenophobia and immigration; they tilt towards the former."

@_MarangAletsats said:

"Ngizwe is him! He will not be silenced by the EFF! Phansi ngoMalema Phansi!"

@Red_GuardSA said:

"Does this mean they are done with KZN, or they just wanna be seen doing something in all these provinces?? People from the Eastern Cape tell us that, after these people came there, the foreign nationals left?"
