Hundreds of African Migrants Bused to Safety in Durban Amid Rising Tensions
After fleeing threats and violence, hundreds of migrants spent the night on the cold floor at Durban’s Diakonia Centre. They wrapped themselves in blankets as humanitarians stepped in with food, blankets, and essential support. Many have lived in South Africa for years but now feel displaced and vulnerable. Christian Kwigomba, a barber from the DRC, fled war only to face fresh fear. Others rejected claims of fake papers and questioned how they could seek help without risking detention. Officials say document checks are under way before more assistance can be delivered. Community members and local leaders warn of rising tensions and call for urgent intervention to restore safety and order.
