Multiple reports describe how rising anti-migrant rhetoric in South Africa escalates into direct threats for some foreign nationals. One account describes a Malawian gardener in Johannesburg who says that in early June two men delivered an ultimatum: leave South Africa immediately or face death. The report frames the incident as part of a broader climate in which anti-migrant messaging builds over months and then turns into intimidation at the local level. The wider reporting cited links increased hostility toward migrants to growing pressure to depart, including fear of violence and coercion. While details vary by account, the overall picture is that threats are presented as time-bound demands, compelling some migrants to consider leaving the country. The accounts focus on personal testimonies and the reported intensification of rhetoric across communities rather than on a single confirmed incident involving all individuals. The reports emphasize the perceived danger facing migrants in South Africa as anti-migrant sentiment spreads.
