## Resource

South Africa’s rising anti-migrant sentiment is sparking real economic and cultural fallout, from canceled gigs for artists to strained international business ties, all threatening “Brand SA.” Over 40,000 undocumented migrants have been arrested this year, with thousands deported, prompting President Ramaphosa’s televised address and Justice Minister Kubayi’s warning that xenophobia risks damaging global perceptions and social cohesion. Artists report lost income as continental tours vanish, while the government pushes for legal, not violent, solutions — including reviving immigration courts and boosting repatriation logistics — to restore trust and protect both locals and foreigners.
