## Resource

President Ramaphosa firmly rejects claims of a June 30th migrant deadline, insisting security forces are ready to prevent unrest and that government action is already underway to tackle root causes—warning against exploitation of public concerns. He counters WHO’s characterization of xenophobic violence, calling it disinformation meant to tarnish South Africa’s image, and announces diplomatic missions to African nations to counter false narratives. While experts debate potential for violence versus peaceful protests, all agree any forceful response by security forces could spiral into chaos.
