Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Operation Dudula, a splinter group from a faction in the Put South Africans First movement, has branched to Cape Town.<\/p>\n

It recently spread to Durban and other areas after being founded in November 2021 in Johannesburg\u2019s Soweto township.<\/p>\n

The organisation is pushing anti-immigrant campaigns targeting mainly undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa. It has, however, in the past indiscriminately attacked foreigners, some with the required documents.<\/p>\n

Operation Dudula launched in Cape Town this Saturday.<\/p>\n

The DA, meanwhile, is calling on residents to reject and stand against the extension of the operation into the city.<\/p>\n

President Cyril Ramaphosa recently said the government is not working with and will not recognise any vigilante group as that would be endorsing lawlessness and anarchy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, observers say the government was only paying lip service and doing nothing to stop the vigilantes who have terrorised and in some cases killed foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that millions of Zimbabweans are in South Africa where they are economic refugees following the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy two decades ago.<\/p>\n

Some of them are living in fear that Operation Dudula might target them after Elvis Nyathi, their compatriot was tortured and burnt alive last month.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwean authorities have engaged their South African counterparts to register their displeasure in the manner the government has responded to the xenophobic attacks.<\/p>\n
