## Resource

Immigrant business owners in Kwathema are living in terror as anti-immigrant groups threaten to shut down operations by June 30th, sparking looting, closures, and mass displacement—even among those legally present. Victims like Vainet Spatini and Fatima Mabonda recount trauma, harassment, and the erosion of their livelihoods, while police vow to enforce law—but human rights groups insist the real solution lies in tackling unemployment and systemic xenophobia, not just enforcement.
