South African woman marries Malawian partner after fleeing anti-immigrant 'violence'
A South African woman fled the country with her Malawian partner due to xenophobic violence has tied the knot and become a citizen in the Southeast African nation.
A South African woman, Nokwazi Ncuku, has married her Malawian partner after fleeing anti-immigrant violence. Ncuku and Rasheed tied the knot in a Nikah ceremony in Mangochi. She had previously fled to Sherwood Hall in Durban with thousands of other Malawian nationals fleeing the same persecution. The hall became a temporary refuge for those seeking safety as they faced overcrowding, limited access to necessities and uncertainty about their futures.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli called for urgent action to address the crisis, leading to the processing and repatriation of those wishing to return home. Recently, the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration reported that 95.5% of migrants processed at the Musina center were classified as border jumpers.
