Fear and Loathing in South Africa

BBC Africa Eye investigates the rise of xenophobia in South Africa and the violent targeting of migrants. Reported by Ayanda Charlie.

A network of anti-migrant groups has emerged across South Africa. The groups blame illegal migrants for the state of the country’s economy, a lack of housing and an explosion of drug abuse. But their critics accuse them of being violent vigilantes who target some of the country’s most vulnerable people. BBC Africa Eye gains rare access to Operation Dudula, South Africa’s most notorious anti-migrant group, as they take to the streets and fight for political power.
