Recent xenophobic violence in Durban, South Africa, has forced thousands of Malawians from their homes, creating a displacement camp in Sherwood park. Photojournalist Tommy Trenchard documented the plight of families, including 8-year-old Milako Kulinji, seeking refuge from the escalating Afrophobic attacks. The surge in anti-migrant protests has left many Malawians feeling unsafe and desiring to return to their country. The South African government has responded by repatriating approximately 7,000 Malawian citizens. The images highlight the human cost of the violence and the widespread fear within the Malawian community. This incident reflects a broader trend of increasing Afrophobia across South Africa.
