Thousands of Malawian nationals are sheltering at Sherwood Hall playground in Durban amid escalating anti-immigration protests, according to reports from South Africa’s IOL. The displaced group has fled their homes after allegedly receiving death threats, with the number of people seeking refuge increasing over a short period. As more displaced people arrive, officials from the Department of Home Affairs intervene by documenting migrants at the site. The reports also state that humanitarian organisations provide emergency support to those sheltering at Sherwood Hall. The situation is unfolding alongside heightened tensions linked to anti-illegal immigration demonstrations in Durban. While the accounts focus on the displacement and the response on the ground, they describe an ongoing process in which Home Affairs records those affected while aid groups deliver immediate assistance. The reports do not provide further details on the size of the displaced population beyond “thousands,” nor do they specify the source of the alleged death threats.
