In Durban, South Africa, temporary camps have been set up housing thousands of Malawian migrants awaiting repatriation. According to officials, more than 15,000 Malawians have been processed for return to their home country as South Africa enforces stricter migration rules. Many migrants lack valid documents or have expired passports.

Families with children stand in queues as officials check papers and volunteers distribute food and water. Conditions in the camps are difficult, with large crowds, littered areas, and limited access to services. Security has been heightened following recent attacks on foreign nationals. Several regional governments are organizing voluntary returns.
