WATCH | After the recent rise in anti-immigrant protests and xenophobia in South Africa, the Nigerian government organised repatriation flights for citizens returning to Nigeria. Amid the broader fallout, it is easy to overlook those who have fallen through the cracks of South Africa’s Home Affairs system, with no options left. One such case was encountered by Zakiyya while interviewing Nigerians at the Nigerian High Commission ahead of the first repatriation flight on 11 June 2026. Fola has spent his entire life in South Africa but is now being forced to leave because, he says, Home Affairs failed him. This is his story. Produced and presented by: Zakiyya

That is why this requirement is in place. It serves as a safeguard to ensure that we do not have councillors who cannot read or write, cannot understand council documents, and cannot effectively participate in council proceedings."
