Several South African (SA) political parties have rejected calls for a nationwide shutdown planned for Tuesday by groups campaigning against illegal immigration.
They argue that immigration laws should be enforced through legal processes and have warned that the planned action could trigger violence.
Security agencies remain on high alert after organisations including March and March and Operation Dudula declared June 30 as their deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country.
The groups have staged demonstrations across SA in recent weeks, with some protests turning violent.
