The South African (SA) government plans to send envoys across Africa and other parts of the world following a surge in tensions linked to allegations of xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals. President Cyril Ramaphosa says the initiative aims to foster dialogue on migration and counter what he describes as misleading narratives portraying South Africans as being xenophobic. 

The move comes amid growing concern over the spread of misinformation on social media, including the circulation of manipulated, miscaptioned, and fake images and videos falsely depicting violence against immigrants in SA. Authorities argue that the rapid spread of unverified visual content online has complicated efforts to address migration challenges, fueled public tensions, and contributed to the spread of fake news across the continent.
