More than 1,000 Malawian immigrants have fled an informal settlement in Durban, South Africa, after being chased from their homes. The group has spent days camped in an open field near the town of Burnwood. The Malawians, who had been living in the Burnwood settlement, left following what local reports describe as threats and intimidation. They are now sheltering in the field without proper housing, water, or sanitation. Authorities have not yet announced any plan to relocate or assist the displaced group. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in some South African communities over immigration, particularly from other African nations.
