Concerns are mounting over the impact of anti-migrant violence along the South Africa-Zimbabwe border, with humanitarian organisations warning of rising trauma, fear and urgent medical needs among vulnerable migrant populations.
Advocates say the violence is not only creating security concerns but is also triggering a humanitarian and public health emergency, particularly for women, children and those already facing difficult circumstances.
Joining us now is Elizabeth Karavhina, a migration and humanitarian expert, to discuss the growing crisis, its impact on affected communities, and what needs to be done to protect the rights and wellbeing of migrants at the border.

Stop telling lies my sister. The truth shall set you free
This humanitarian lier is pushing for her own narrative /propaganda…
Ummmm! , I haven't got a clue
They are out of South Africa and now it should be Zimbabwean problem.
Where is accountability from their countries,what caused them to leave their countries in the first place, please give South Africa a break, South Africa is not welfare for Africa.
Look how filtty that place is.😯
But if they're in BBridge they're closer to home why not let them go to their respective homes cos they belong there not in SA
And why should we be blamed let their government take responsibility, also by raising the humanitarian situation are we SAns suppose to aide them yet they're ALMOST HOME! let the Zim go deal wth it's people we had ENOUGH!
When they came here they crossed rivers, deserts, forest n climbed mountains risked their lives n those of children for days if not months so they must use the same routes to get out of SA. .. What are they doing in Bbrigde?
So clean and tidy where they stay.
People must stop going to other countries illegally simple as that
Mfim
Look after them they are your people and stop gaslighting yu sound foolish
How can they be on hiv treatment when theres no HIV in Zim apparently.
Where did humanity go in beings?
When will this migrant issue be resolved?
Violence on the border will definitely affect vulnerable persons. Why are they coming back.
We need to see the scenes relating to this 'Humanitarian Crisis!'
How is South Africa responsible for this, but Zimbabwe isn't…?
Why are they still at the border,? Why is Zimbabwe not taking it's citizens in, and dealing with the matter within their own country. Are people not Zimbabweans? Who is supposed to care for them? Is it not Mnangagwa's responsibility to sort this out? The people had nothing here in South Africa, they lived in Mkhukhu's and informal settlements. Can Zimbabwe not carry on where they left off, build an informal settlement and house them? and create opportunity for jobs!!
SABC is not patriotic in the mist of false accusations and smear campaigns to paint SA as a xenophobic country you add petrol on fire
Ayi mina angisazi kuseduze e Zim ingani bajomba umfula. Yini inkinga manje awusajombeki masekubuyelwa emuva?
Yeyi kade ngisethekwini akuve kupholile kanti besimpintshwe abantu bokufika kangaka Pho ? ayibo ngeke bafowethu nishiye bani emakhaya ? Besengisaba nokuya ethekwini, ayi cha godukani bafowethu ngilibonile kodwa ikwerekwere elilodwa.
Abahambe please
This makes noooo sense at all! What happened to the mobile clinics that they had sent and the 600mil deployed by the government? Did they just stop the processes without warning? I don’t understand? The government needs to answer for all of this! Also, can the doctor actually answer the question about what violence and where it comes from? Are there casualties? It’s all so vague! What kind of abuse do they suffer at the repatriation centre and where is it coming from? Is it coming from fellow travelers, or is it from South Africans?
Where is their president Managagwa to supply them with medication and other required resources
Ok, whoever gave the ok, for this News Clip.
CHARITY, BEGINS AT HOME. PERIOD!
Thanks for your professionalism in reporting what little word knows
Solution’s anyone? Put them all on antidepressants? Bad joke. Mental health at least literature and simple slogans such as don’t give up, keep hopes up.
Open the Boarder so the People can go home Why keep them out of their country

Im sorry if they need HIV or TB medical support, they should not be RSA problem
South Africa is not it's responsibility to provide health care for the whole africa
All this year's SOUTH AFRICA was carrying all other countries baden by taking care of million of people from ZIM AND OTHER COUNTRIES, Supporting them even with medication and grants, while their respective countries folding hands instead of assisting those countries who are feeding their own people but only if that was a worrying concern to that government,but instead they saw it as a winning game , spending tax payers money with their families and friends, that is why they are now worried and crying so loud when they are returned back to their countries because chances of continuing looting money are gonna be reduced if not over. Now they start blaming South Africa for doing what is lawfully right for its citizens and for their own country as well.Stop crying or blaming or even threatening South Africa for no reason. You must just take a responsibility for your own citizens who elected you.
Thank you Doctors without Borders🔥🙏🏻💯
When is it humanitarian crisis? Only when it comes to illegal immigrants. What about South Africans dying at the hands of these people through drug trafficking and human trafficking 😡😡
The government knows exactly what they are doing. This will come to and end

South Africa. You should be ashamed of your cruel and disgusting behavior! Shame on you!
Leviticus 19:33-34: Do not mistreat the foreigner. Treat them as your own people and love them as yourself, because you were also foreigners in Egypt.
Am requesting for partnership with your organization in in reaching out to the must volunrable groups of people in the community of refugees in the areas of water and sanitation so please help us in this area
That's what we are fighting for , these foreign nationals are getting free medication in South African while in their countries are paying . We are supplying SADAC with free medication on experience of South Africans
Why are they fleeing from their homes in South Africa???
