‘Leave or return in a coffin’: The threat driving migrants out of South Africa

In recent months, escalating anti-migrant sentiment has led to a frightening ultimatum for migrants in South Africa. Kaunga Nyirenda, a Malawian gardener in Johannesburg, was threatened with death if he didn't leave the country. This incident highlights a broader trend of hostility and violence against migrants, which has created a climate of fear and insecurity. The situation underscores the urgent need for action to protect vulnerable communities and address the root causes of such xenophobic violence.
