## Resource

South Africa is mobilizing over a thousand buses to deport nearly 7,000 Malawian nationals amid rising immigration crackdowns, following President Ramaphosa’s tough new policies. Protests demanding undocumented immigrants leave by June have fueled the urgency, while arrests of over 40,000 for immigration violations show enforcement is intensifying. The government is also upgrading ID systems with digital records and facial recognition to tighten border controls — all part of a sweeping effort to reshape how immigration is managed in the country.
