South Africa's xenophobic violence forces Malawi to welcome thousands of returnees
Xenophobic attacks in South Africa have driven migrants to flee the country, with Malawi receiving its first organized group of returnees in recent weeks and thousands more expected to follow. The violence targets foreign nationals, particularly from neighboring African countries seeking economic opportunity. This reflects broader regional instability and labor market tensions in South Africa, Africa's most developed economy, where competition for jobs has historically sparked anti-immigrant sentiment. The scale of return migration signals deteriorating conditions for African migrants across Southern Africa's largest economy.
