As South Africa\u2019s immigration debate continues to dominate public discourse, Ngqabutho Nicholas Mabhena, Secretary of the African Diaspora Forum (ADF), says meaningful solutions require looking beyond the country\u2019s borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mabhena told One Nation Media (ONM) that migration into South Africa cannot be understood without examining the wars, political instability, economic collapse, climate change and poor governance pushing people out of their home countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
