A coalition of civil society organizations under the banner Kopanang Africa has called for Home Affairs Minister Aron Motsoaledi to step down saying he does not know how to do his job.
The movement fighting xenophobia along with other unions lead a march on Saturday in the Johannesburg CBD denouncing Operation Dudula.
Members of the activist movement against xenophobic attacks that have been carried out by several communities in recent weeks took the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) to court over its decision to prohibit the demonstration.
The march was initially scheduled for human rights day, but the JMPD stopped it due to safety concerns.
Operation Dudula has been removing migrants in and around parts of Joburg, Alexandra, and Soweto.
