South Africa: Betrayal of African unity or self-preservation?

South Africa finds itself at the center of a heated debate over whether its policies on migration are a betrayal of African unity or a necessary act of self-preservation. As global migration trends and rising xenophobia reshape state governance, South Africa's approach has sparked criticism from some quarters who see it as abandoning its role as a leader in African solidarity. This situation underscores the complex challenges nations face in balancing national interests with continental commitments, highlighting the broader implications for regional and global migration policies.
