TOPSHOT - As the sun sets a few foreign nationals light a fire to keep warm from the winter cold at the Sherwood Park in Durban on June 13, 2026 as more than 7,000 people, mostly Malawian nationals, await another night before repatriation to Malawi. The situation reflects growing tensions fuelled by public frustration over chronic unemployment and slow economic growth. South Africa is home to millions of foreign nationals, many of whom have migrated from other African countries in search of better opportunities. Hundreds of migrants await repatriation to Malawi from South Africa following xenophobic violence in the country. (Photo by Rajesh JANTILAL / AFP via Getty Images)
