Episode Details

Durban’s mayor Cyril Xaba’s controversial remark at Sherwood Park — “I am not speaking to you. I am speaking to the Africans” — has ignited a national firestorm, sparking accusations of racism and demands for an apology after an MP claimed the person addressed was South African. The mayor’s team defended him, insisting the individual was not South African and was disruptive, while emphasizing his commitment to inclusivity. Amid rising tensions, thousands of migrants — many from Malawi — await repatriation, with over 1,800 found undocumented, as humanitarian groups rush to aid those preparing to leave. Police clashes and a fragile humanitarian situation underscore the urgency as authorities navigate one of South Africa’s most complex migration crises.
