South Africa Refutes Foreigner Departure Rumors

The South African government formally rejected viral reports alleging a June 30 deadline for foreign nationals to leave the country. Home Affairs officials described the claims as false and inconsistent with official migration policy. Anti-migrant groups previously circulated the deadline. The Zimbabwean government appealed for humanitarian support to assist citizens currently gathered at repatriation centers. Authorities confirmed no official order exists requiring foreign nationals to leave by June 30. The government continues to coordinate safe return efforts for affected citizens.
