南非内务部暂停了一项新的难民申请处理指令。该指令由法院判决推动而发布，规定政府不能仅因非法入境等程序原因拒绝难民申请。1 这一决定旨在落实法院关于政府难民政策某些条款违反宪法的裁决。1
暂停指令后不久，约翰内斯堡和德班爆发暴力抗议活动。1 抗议中多辆车辆被纵火，德班和索韦托分别有14辆和10辆汽车遭焚毁，此外还有店铺被掠夺。1 约翰内斯堡警方发言人Xolani Fihla表示，"目前确认未报告任何人员伤亡"。1
反移民组织曾要求无证外国人在6月30日前离开该国。1 南非失业率达三分之一人口失业，这加剧了对外来人口的不满情绪。1 法院判决强调，即使获得难民申请批准，也不会自动授予进入南非者难民身份或永久居留权。1
South Africa's Department of Home Affairs has suspended a new directive on asylum applications following violent protests that erupted in Johannesburg and Durban 1. The directive, issued in response to a court ruling, had mandated that refugee applications cannot be rejected solely on procedural grounds such as illegal entry 1.
The unrest resulted in significant property damage across multiple locations. In Durban, 14 vehicles were set ablaze, while 10 cars were torched in Soweto 1. Shops were also looted during the demonstrations 1. Johannesburg police spokesperson Xolani Fihla stated that "no deaths have been recorded at this stage" 1. The court judgment itself does not automatically grant refugee status or permanent residence to those entering South Africa 1.
The protests reflect broader tensions surrounding immigration and employment, with anti-immigrant organizations demanding that undocumented foreigners leave the country by June 30 1. South Africa faces an unemployment rate affecting one-third of its population 1.
