## Resource

Hundreds of Zimbabweans camped outside their Cape Town consulate, sleeping on pavement with meager belongings, desperate to return home amid rising xenophobia and mounting fears of becoming undocumented. Their plight mirrors a growing wave of voluntary repatriation across South Africa, as Nigerians and Malawians also flee rising anti-immigrant sentiment and job losses tied to paperwork chaos. For Marian Gwanyira, the stakes are personal — she fled Zimbabwe for opportunity, only to now face threats from neighbors and the looming shadow of statelessness. With consulate officials silent and no clear path forward, the uncertainty is crushing, as displaced families cling to hope for transport or guidance — while the night grows colder and the future bleeds into more uncertainty.
