Malawian Nationals Face Deportation Crisis
Description
Over 6,000 Malawian nationals are stranded in Sherwood after being displaced by threats, with deportations now underway after a failed voluntary return plan. South Africa is stepping in with formal removals, while Durban’s eThekwini Municipality has converted a beachfront Drive-In site into a temporary staging area to manage the crisis. Tensions flared earlier this week with rock-throwing incidents and local residents reporting property access and health concerns. Authorities are responding with emergency services — more toilets, water, waste management, mobile clinics, and safety lighting — while the Department of Justice is setting up special courts to speed up deportations. So far, 1,458 have been removed, with more buses en route to Malawi.
