South Africa's textile industry in crisis after migrant workers fled the country

South Africa's textile industry is facing a workforce crisis after thousands of migrant workers fled the country in the past few months, in the wake of violent xenophobic protests. The campaign led by anti-immigrant group March and March sought to free up jobs for South Africans, one-third of whom are unemployed. But factory owners in Newcastle on say they have yet to fill vacancies left by foreign workers who fled.
