The Malawi government says it will conclude its government-backed programme this week to repatriate citizens who have chosen to leave South Africa (SA) amid concerns over insecurity and rising tensions involving foreign nationals.

The Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DODMA) says it has so far repatriated 56,723 Malawians under the programme. The repatriation initiative was established to assist Malawian nationals who wanted to return home amid growing concerns about their safety and living conditions in parts of SA. 

Unathi Batyashe spoke to Phaskani Msiska, from the Migration and Labour Centre.
