Operation Dudula blocks foreigners from South African clinics, defying court orders amid rising anti-immigrant tensions.
An anti-migrant group called Operation Dudula is blocking foreigners from public health clinics in South Africa’s Gauteng province, demanding identity documents and turning away patients, including the sick and mothers with children.
The group, dressed in military-style uniforms, claims to prioritize South Africans amid high unemployment and strained services, though the government insists all people have a legal right to free healthcare.
Despite a court order to stop, the group plans to appeal and continues protests, including a recent incident in a Soweto maternity ward.
The situation reflects rising anti-immigrant sentiment tied to economic hardship and public service pressures, with concerns over human rights and access to care.
