S.Africa minister raises concerns about security at Zimbabwe border

In Musina, South Africa, hundreds of undocumented migrants are returning home after anti-migrant protests, while others attempt to enter the country by crossing the Limpopo River. Officials, including South Africa's Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, express concerns over inadequate border security at the Zimbabwean border. The Border Management Authority reports over 60,000 migrants have been repatriated since June 7, mostly from Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya. Despite efforts like increased patrols and surveillance, officials acknowledge that many migrants could re-enter illegally through informal crossing points. South Africa lacks a physical border fence in many areas, making complete control of immigration difficult.
