Movement Restricts Foreigners’ Access to Healthcare

A community clinic near Johannesburg is at the center of a rising anti-migrant movement led by Operation Dudula, which has evolved from a pressure group to a political party aiming to prioritize South Africans in public health access. The group’s activists check IDs at clinics, denying entry to those without South African identification, reflecting growing xenophobic sentiments amidst high unemployment and resource scarcity in South Africa.
