Summary
No refugee camps on the horizon — the government’s laser-focused mission is repatriating illegal immigrants, not sheltering them. Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi made it clear: temporary facilities are off the table. With 7,000 Malawians gathered in one settlement and 457 in another (most legally present), the scale is massive. Eight buses from Malawi, ten from South Africa — over a thousand needed — are rolling out to get them home. Nearly 980 Malawians were deported in June alone. Authorities are cracking down hard: 40,000 arrests for illegal immigration this year, and a firm warning: don’t do your own identity checks — it’s illegal. Instead, report crimes to the police. And don’t believe the rumors — the government is fighting back against xenophobic misinformation that’s fueling fear and false narratives online.
