Stefanie de Saude Darbandi recently joined Newzroom Afrika to discuss the growing tensions surrounding undocumented migration in South Africa, following reports of Ghanaian nationals leaving the country amid anti-illegal immigration sentiment.
The discussion focused on the broader immigration challenges facing South Africa, including:
- public frustration around unemployment and pressure on services;
- the importance of lawful and effective immigration enforcement;
- the dangers of intimidation and xenophobia; and
- the need for government to improve immigration management and restore public trust in the system.
As always, the conversation highlighted the importance of balanced, lawful and practical solutions to complex migration challenges.
