A wave of xenophobic violence in South Africa has reportedly led to the deaths of several Mozambican nationals, according to the Mozambican government. The incident occurred in Mossel Bay, where tensions over illegal migration escalated into violent clashes.
Officials say around 800 Mozambican citizens were affected by the unrest, with hundreds displaced or forced to seek refuge in safer areas. Some have already begun returning home, while others remain under protection as repatriation efforts continue.
South African authorities have launched investigations into the incident, which is part of a broader pattern of anti-migrant unrest linked to economic frustrations and rising political tensions ahead of upcoming local elections.
The violence highlights ongoing concerns over xenophobia in South Africa, which has seen repeated outbreaks in past years, resulting in deaths, displacement, and widespread condemnation from neighboring countries.
