South Africa's immigration crackdown is causing divisions within Johannesburg's inner city, where residents are being forced to confront their own identities and sense of belonging. In areas like Fordsburg, long-time immigrants are struggling to stay in the country they have called home for generations, while some local residents see them as outsiders taking jobs from South Africans. The issue has sparked heated debates about who truly belongs in the city and what it means to be a Johannesburger. As tensions rise, community leaders are urging calm and calling for a more inclusive approach to addressing the country's immigration crisis.
