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.

They’re doubling down on lawful migration management, urging cooperation from communities and neighboring countries to curb xenophobic tensions.
