38,000 Malawians leave S.Africa after anti-migrant protests

Between June 7 and July 8, 2026, Malawi repatriated 38,094 of its nationals from South Africa amid anti-migrant protests that led to violence and deaths. The exodus includes citizens from multiple countries, including Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and others, as tensions over undocumented migration escalated. South African authorities reported at least six fatalities linked to the crisis, with some victims succumbing to illness due to lack of medical care during their journey. Over 570 buses were used for the repatriation effort, with most returnees passing through the Beitbridge border. Officials noted that many migrants faced harassment and were forced to move frequently, worsening their health conditions.
