Fear and anxiety have gripped scores of migrants from neighbouring countries, driving them to camp outside their diplomatic mission offices in Joburg as they scramble to leave SA before Tuesday.
In the Johannesburg CBD, many foreign-owned businesses closed their doors on Sunday while others removed stock and furniture. At bus stations, migrants queued in numbers to leave the country ahead of the planned June 30 protest against undocumented foreign nationals.
Many said they feared becoming targets despite repeated assurances from the government.
