# The Malawian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation says it will soon commence a voluntary repatriation exercise for its nationals who have requested support to leave South Africa. This comes as anti-foreigner protests have spread across the country in recent days, with flare-ups in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Western Cape. These protests have led to Ghana evacuating about 300 of its citizens last week, with Nigeria also announcing repatriation plans. The Malawian government has commended the South African government for taking decisive steps to address its concerns.
