A campaign in South Africa, referred to as 'Operation Dudula', is targeting illegal migrants, with some reports describing it as a "witch hunt" for immigrants. There are indications that migrants are being threatened and some have gone into hiding, while others are organizing against xenophobic attacks. The situation appears to be escalating, with protests planned and some groups receiving rebukes from authorities, although the status of certain nationalities, such as Zimbabweans, may be subject to exemptions or extensions.
