Tensions continue to rise in South Africa, where there has been a recent increase in anti-immigration sentiments, which has sparked protests on the streets of Johannesburg, where several South Africans are demanding that African immigrants vacate the country.

The latest protest saw hundreds of South Africans take to the streets of Durban and Johannesburg to demand that the foreigners vacate the country. Clips that have circulated online showed protesters marching and chanting on the street while on the lookout for foreigners they believe were living in the country illegally.

A clip showed a man lamenting how South African women who are sleeping with foreigners are part of the problem, leading South Africans to lose their country to foreigners.

The clip has generated reactions online as it captures the ongoing hostilities African migrants face in the country, where they are accused of engaging in crimes, stealing the jobs of the locals, and also marrying their women.

Intermarriage between Nigerians and South Africans has been the subject of heated debates on social media in the past. South African women who marry Nigerian men are commonly called "Jollofinas", which is a slur that captures the disdain with which a section of the country looks upon the union.

Another video posted on social media showed a group of anti immigration protesters accosting a Ghanaian man, whom they accused of being in the country illegally despite presenting a valid permit. The clip, which led to criticism on social media of increasing xenophobic attacks, forced the Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon South Africa's envoy.

Nigerians have been a major target of the anti-immigration agitators who accuse foreigners of dominating the job market and increasing crime rates.

There have been increased hostilities towards Nigerians, with the latest being the violent protest that followed the alleged crowning of an Igbo King in East London, a coastal city in the Eastern Cape. The Nigerian embassy clarified that the ceremony was a cultural celebration rather than a coronation and apologised to the South African government for the confusion.

Amid the recent spate of protests, the Nigeria Diaspora Commission has issued an advisory cautioning Nigerians to remain indoors and maintain a low profile to avoid being targeted.
