Refugees in South Africa fear rising hostility as calls grow to expel undocumented migrants

Refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa say they are living in growing fear as calls intensify for undocumented migrants to leave the country. Wivine Bahati, who fled the Democratic Republic of Congo as a child and has lived in South Africa for 15 years, says rising hostility is forcing her to question where she belongs. Activist Thandile Jojozi, of civic organisation March and March, argues that African leaders and international bodies have failed to address the root causes of migration, leaving South African communities under pressure. Both accounts reflect a deepening tension over immigration, identity and accountability ahead of a 30 June deadline that some fear could trigger further unrest.
