Thousands of people rallied in different regions of South Africa for another round of anti-immigrant demonstrations on Tuesday. Vigilante violence against African immigrants has soared across South Africa in recent months, driving many people to flee in fear. Thousands of immigrants, most from Zimbabwe and Malawi, have requested consular support to evacuate South Africa, as they’re living in constant fear of violent harassment on the streets and attacks on their businesses by xenophobic groups. Among their targets was Princess Adjei, who grew up in South Africa since moving from Ghana as a toddler. She’s been sleeping on the streets outside a government office in Durban since May, when an anti-immigrant mob broke into her hair and beauty salon and looted it.

Princess Adjei: “Most of the time, I’m always awake because we don’t know what — when they’re going to attack us again. They’ve been here twice, so we don’t know when they’re going to attack us again. So we can’t all sleep. Some people sleep for a few hours and wake up. We also have to sit and watch. … I can’t pay my rent in the shop. I can’t pay my rent at home. I can’t feed my child. I can’t feed my family. Everything just went zero. My whole life just went zero.”
