Illegal immigration protests hammer Checkers Sixty60, Uber, and Sweep…

Anti-migrant protests in South Africa have triggered mass departures of foreign workers, with migrants accounting for 70% of Checkers Sixty60 delivery riders, 50%+ of e-hailing drivers, and a significant share of domestic workers. The exodus is creating immediate labour shortages in last-mile logistics, ride-hailing, and household services, whilst threatening economic growth and remittance flows to neighbouring countries. Your gig-economy business in South Africa just lost 50-70% of its labour supply in weeks. If you're in ride-hailing, delivery, or domestic services there, you need a retention plan for the workers still left, or your unit economics collapse as you surge prices into a shrinking market.
