Operation Dudula Told to Stop Blocking Foreigners from Healthcare and Schools

A South African court has ruled against the anti-migrant group Operation Dudula, ordering them to stop blocking foreign nationals from accessing public health facilities and schools, deeming their actions illegal. The Johannesburg high court also prohibited the group from engaging in hate speech or unlawfully evicting migrants, amidst rising xenophobia in the country. Operation Dudula, which has faced criticism for its actions, plans to appeal the ruling. Human rights groups welcomed the judgment as a vital defense against xenophobic violence.
