# Tensions between South Africa and Mozambique have spilled over to tourist areas, where some South African visitors in Mozambique were confronted and told to leave. The hostility follows anti-illegal immigration protests in South Africa that reportedly claimed the lives of Mozambican nationals. Mozambique has since repatriated more than 900 citizens from South Africa. Videos on social media have sparked divided reactions, some condemning the confrontations and others supporting retaliation. President Filipe Nyusi pledged support for returnees as the majority lost their homes, businesses, belongings and documents.
