In many parts of South Africa, there have been protests and demonstrations targeting foreign nationals. The Chinese Embassy reminds Chinese citizens, businesses, and institutions to be vigilant against security risks.

On June 9th, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa reminded Chinese citizens, businesses, and institutions to guard against security risks. Recently, there have been protests, demonstrations, and petitions targeting foreigners in various parts of South Africa, some of which have escalated into disturbances, looting, and violence, resulting in casualties and property damage, with some Chinese-owned businesses affected. Local civil organizations have demanded that illegal immigrants leave South Africa by June 30th and are planning protest activities. Analysts believe that such activities may continue to escalate, potentially leading to serious violence and riots. South African President Ramaphosa recently stated that there will be increased inspections and deportation of illegal immigrants, as well as efforts to crack down on illegal workers, with stricter penalties such as imprisonment for employers who hire them illegally. The Chinese Embassy in South Africa has urged Chinese citizens, businesses, and institutions in South Africa to operate strictly in accordance with the law, paying high attention to guarding against security risks associated with the above-mentioned activities.
