South Africa pushes Sadc on stalled migration protocol

South Africa is urging Southern African Development Community (Sadc) countries to sign and ratify the stalled protocol on free movement of people, aiming to formalise migration channels amid rising xenophobia and economic displacement pressures. Resistance from Zimbabwe and Mozambique has blocked migration from being a main agenda item at the Sadc summit, complicating South Africa's effort to place migration on the leaders' agenda during its chairmanship term.
