Growing xenophobia in South Africa is causing fear among foreign nationals, particularly as anti-immigration groups target undocumented individuals. These groups have designated June 30th as a deadline for the departure of all those living in the country illegally, escalating tensions. Consequently, thousands of Malawian citizens have already fled their homes in KwaZulu-Natal province, seeking safety in a public gathering space in Durban. They are awaiting potential repatriation assistance amid concerns for their safety. The situation highlights increasing anti-foreigner sentiment and potential for further displacement. Authorities have not yet commented on large-scale repatriation efforts, leaving many migrants in a precarious position. The unrest underscores ongoing challenges related to immigration and social cohesion in South Africa.
