More than 15,000 Malawians have been processed for repatriation from camps near Durban, with thousands of additional migrants from neighboring countries also present. An unofficial June 30, 2026 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave South Africa, promoted by anti-migrant groups, followed weeks of protests and violence that killed at least three foreign nationals. South African authorities have condemned the attacks and increased security while multiple African governments coordinate voluntary returns.
