Malawian Migrants Overwhelm South Africa

South Africa is racing to handle a surge of Malawian nationals camping in Durban, with thousands—many women and children—awaiting repatriation amid rising tensions sparked by anti-immigration protests. A second temporary processing center is now being built to ease overcrowding at the first site, where over ten thousand people have gathered and at least twelve births have occurred. Repatriation is slow due to legal hurdles and a lack of transport, forcing Malawi to appeal for bus donations. Clashes erupted as migrants threw objects at police, who responded with rubber bullets and stun grenades, fueled by frustration over delays. Officials estimate weeks more of processing, while both countries collaborate to return those fleeing violence and discrimination.
