South Africa pushes for Africa migration talks after violent internal protests and Ceuta crisis
South Africa wants the African Union to discuss irregular migration after 68,000 people were repatriated from the country between June and July, officials said.
- South Africa will host national leaders later this month at a Southern African Development Community summit in Durban to address the regional migration crisis, with International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola leading discussions on root causes.
- Anti-Illegal immigration groups continue protesting every Thursday, pressuring the government, while Lamola seeks to address "push-pull factors" after meeting with Ghana President John Dramani Mahama and a representative of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.
- The government repatriated at least 68,000 people between June and July, primarily to Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, while the Border Management Agency reduced its temporary facility capacity near Beitbridge from 20,000 to 1,500 people.
- Last week, the African Union rejected a proposal by Ghana to add South Africa's migration tensions to the bloc's October coordination meeting agenda, as South Africa opposed being singled out without addressing broader continental causes.
- The July 31 chaotic crossing in Ceuta that left more than 80 people dead underscores the migration crisis officials hope the Durban summit will help address through a unified continental approach.
