# Non-governmental organisation, African Refugee and Migrants Aid says South Africa has failed to protect refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, putting African lives at risk. The organisation’s director Malipo Mbalanga, stressed that recent protests led to deaths, attacks on communities and children, and widespread fear among foreign nationals. Mbalanga argues migration is a long-standing continental issue and calls for protection under international law, saying police and authorities failed to act. In addition he welcomed efforts of many countries assisting in repatriation efforts.
