NewzSouth African authorities reported on Tuesday that over 86,000 African migrants have been repatriated in recent months due to xenophobic tensions. The government figures indicate a significant scale of return, although the data remains a point of contention when compared to reports from the migrants' countries of origin.
Official records from the nations receiving these individuals suggest a total of nearly 180,000 returns, a figure substantially higher than the count provided by South Africa. This discrepancy highlights ongoing challenges in tracking the movement of displaced populations amidst the domestic instability and social friction currently affecting the region.
