Operation Dudula was set-up in Soweto two years ago , the first group to formalise what had been sporadic waves of xenophobia-fuelled vigilante attacks in South Africa .
It calls itself a civic movement, running on an anti-migrant platform, with the word "dudula" meaning "to force out" in Zulu .
With one in three South Africans out of work in one of the world's most unequal societies, foreigners in general have become an easy target.
Operation Dudula has registered as a political party but does not have a manifesto or policy on foreigners.
The BBC joins a so-called Dudula taskforce in Soweto to join a raid on migrant homes and workplaces.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has spoken out against anti-migrant protests, and condemned vigilante groups for harassing and attacking migrants.
