NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
South Africa's transition to democracy in the 1990s was marked by a vision of a unified and inclusive society, earning it the nickname 'Rainbow Nation'. However, in recent years, the country has struggled with high levels of unemployment and economic inequality, which have contributed to rising tensions between native-born South Africans and migrant communities. These tensions have been exacerbated by the presence of undocumented migrants from other African countries, who are often perceived as competing with locals for limited job opportunities.
