South Africa: Immigrant Traders See Their Livelihoods Destroyed By March and March

Immigrant traders in South Africa have suffered the destruction and disruption of their livelihoods following a demonstration referred to as "March and March." The incident took place at the Bellville bus terminus market.

During the march, traders who held valid legal documents and permits were chased away from the area. This enforcement action left the local market almost entirely empty, severely impacting the immigrant business owners who operate there.
