Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia says a humanitarian crisis is unfolding at the Malawi Consulate in Johannesburg

Civil society group Kopanang African Against Xenophobia says more than 1,100 people, including 80 children, were taken from the Malawi Consulate in Johannesburg to Lindela Repatriation Centre on Friday. The group says no social workers were present during the operation, which it calls a violation of the Children's Act and a humanitarian catastrophe being covered up. The group is also calling for the urgent reunification of a Malawian mother and her two-week-old baby, who were separated following the woman's arrest.We spoke to KAAX spokesperson, Dr. Dale McKinley.
