South Africa Demands Repatriation Reimbursement From Malawi, Nigeria

South Africa's Border Management Authority is seeking reimbursement from Malawi and Nigeria after spending R300 million to repatriate nearly 90,000 undocumented immigrants, according to NewZimbabwe.com. The demand signals a hardening of South Africa's posture on illegal immigration and a push for source countries to share the financial burden. This escalates diplomatic friction, as recipient nations face strained budgets and domestic backlash.
