to add
⚠ Do not act on forwarded messages. "They are coming to X" forwards spread panic and
are often wrong — they can send you toward danger. Phone an official number to check before you move.
Staying safe
Stay indoors and off the streets if there is unrest nearby.
Keep your phone charged; tell one trusted person where you are.
Avoid crowds and gatherings, even to "see what's happening".
Know your nearest safe place (police station, place of worship, a trusted neighbour).
If you must move, move in daylight and with others if you can.
Your rights
Everyone in South Africa — citizen or not — has the right to safety and dignity (the Constitution protects everyone present, not only citizens).
You can report a threat or an attack to the police, and to the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) [VERIFY: SAHRC contact].
Lawyers for Human Rights and the Scalabrini Centre give free advice to migrants and refugees.
Keep copies of your documents somewhere safe; you do not have to hand originals to anyone but an official, on demand.
