Focus on Africa - Inside the temporary immigrant camps in South Africa
Download Inside the temporary immigrant camps in South Africa
Tuesday, June 30, is the unofficial deadline set by anti-immigrant protestors for unregistered African nationals to leave South Africa. March and March movement, a group opposed to illegal migration, is expected to stage what they call “a national shutdown” following its demand for all undocumented foreigners to leave the country. Ahead of the nationwide protests, we hear from African nationals at a temporary camp in Durban waiting to be repatriated to their home countries.
Also, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso announce plans for a regional news agency. We look into what the move means for information control and accountability.
