# The Malawian government has appealed for financial donations and humanitarian assistance to help repatriate an estimated ten-thousand citizens from South Africa. Malawian nationals have gathered at the Sherwood Hall grounds in Durban, desperate to return home after a wave of anti-immigrant protests plaguing the country. The repatriation programme is being coordinated by Malawi’s Department of Disaster Management Affairs in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Malawi High Commission in Pretoria, and humanitarian organisations. Authorities have described the repatriation exercise as a national humanitarian mission.
