VIGILANTE GROUP ‘OPERATION DUDULA’ BLOCKS MIGRANTS FROM SOUTH AFRICA CLINICS — HIGH COURT SAYS ILLEGAL

AP reports Operation Dudula members in Gauteng are blocking foreign nationals from public health clinics, demanding IDs and turning away patients. A Johannesburg High Court ruling declared the actions unlawful, but the group says it will appeal and some operations continue. South Africa’s government insists health care is guaranteed for all; security has been posted at clinics amid stretched police resources. Human-rights bodies warn the tactic risks life‑threatening care denial; arrests followed a maternity-ward incident in Soweto.
