Over a thousand Mozambicans have returned to Mozambique following a recent surge in xenophobia in South Africa, according to the Director-General of the National Migration Service. While an exact number is unavailable, officials estimate fewer than two thousand Mozambican citizens are involved in this return movement. This influx comes as a result of increased hostility and discrimination experienced by Mozambicans in South Africa. The National Migration Service is currently managing the returnees’ entry into Mozambique. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges of xenophobia and its impact on migrant populations in the region. Further details are expected as the government continues to assess the scale of the returns and provide assistance to those affected. This event underscores the vulnerability of migrants facing discrimination abroad.
