 South Africa anti-migrant group says one of its leaders 'assassinated'


South African anti-migrant group, March and March, has confirmed the death of one of its regional leaders who was gunned down in an alleged assassination, state broadcaster SABC reports.


Andile Somgxada, who led the group in Gauteng, was shot while leaving his home early this month and succumbed to his wounds last Thursday, although the death was reported on Monday.


A spokesman of the group was quoted as saying that some of their leaders had been receiving death threats over their controversial position on illegal migration, TRT Afrika reported.


South Africa has deported or repatriated more than 53,000 African immigrants in the space of a month in a crackdown by authorities that has coincided with a series of sometimes violent protests against illegal migration.


More than 80% of the immigrants sent home were from Malawi, South African Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi said Sunday.


Immigrants from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique made up the majority of the migrants deported or repatriated, but they also included citizens of Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya, South African officials said.
