South Africa's Anti-Migrant Tensions Explained | Rights, Politics & Regional Fallout

South Africa is facing a wave of anti-migrant sentiment that is sending shockwaves across the African continent. But what is really driving these tensions — and who is bearing the cost? In this episode of Inside the Continent on African Voices Radio and TV, host Baillor Jalloh is joined by two leading voices to unpack one of South Africa's most pressing issues: 🎙️ Simba Chikanza — Zimbabwe's renowned investigative journalist, founder of @zimbabweeye and lead investigator on Al Jazeera’s ‘Gold Mafia’ series 🎙️ Ferdinand Ntani — Tanzanian international criminal and human rights lawyer, currently completing his PhD in international law at the University of International Business and Economics, Beijing

Together, they explore: ✅ The historical and socio-economic roots of anti-migrant protests in South Africa ✅ Why African migrants are disproportionately targeted — and how the narrative is being shaped ✅ The role of media in South Africa and Zimbabwe in influencing public opinion ✅ The significance of President Cyril Ramaphosa's visit to Zimbabwe amid rising tensions ✅ South Africa's obligations under international human rights law ✅ The African Union and SADC's responsibility — and whether they are doing enough ✅ Nigeria's plans to repatriate its citizens and the diplomatic implications This is a conversation Africa cannot afford to ignore.
