Summary
South Africa’s government is shutting down rumors of refugee camps, declaring it will only manage legal immigration and help foreigners return home — no exceptions. After visiting informal settlements in Durban and eThekwini, officials found most foreign nationals had legal status, but still pushed for voluntary repatriation. Nearly 1,000 Malawians were recently deported, and buses are being coordinated for more. With over 40,000 arrests for illegal immigration this year — including 7,000 last month — ministers warn against citizen-led enforcement, calling it illegal. They’re doubling down on lawful migration management, urging cooperation from communities and neighboring countries to curb xenophobic tensions.
