Protesters defy Ramaphosa, target Boksburg logistics company instead of foreign workers
– Protestors from several communities on the East Rand marched to the Boksburg Logistics Company and demanded the firing of foreign nationals working there – defying President Cyril Ramaphosa's call for peace.
– Protesters were dismissive of Ramaphosa's national address, with organizers calling it a “talk show” and emphasizing that driving is not a rare skill that justifies hiring foreigners.
– As the June 30 mass protest deadline approached, Ramaphosa announced tougher penalties for employers hiring undocumented workers, including fines of up to R100,000 and imprisonment.
