Countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique, and Lesotho have expressed concern that their nationals are encountering xenophobic violence in the country. Lamola says there is no way migration can be dealt with without dealing with the ‘push factors’ that prompted people to leave their home countries to migrate to South Africa.
