South Africa has deported over 53,000 migrants, primarily from Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe, following pressure from anti-migrant groups. The government's crackdown, led by Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi, aims to address xenophobic violence and unemployment, while campaigners demand workplace quotas and ongoing protests.
