With her baby strapped to her back and carrying little more than the clothes she was wearing, Glenda Banda crossed back into Zambia amid growing anti-migrant sentiment in South Africa.
South Africa has been her home for a decade. It was where she found work, raised her family and hoped to build a better future. She told DW that within days, everything she had worked for was gone.
“I came with only the clothes on my body. I had no clothes to change into,” Banda said, adding that the local mayor had sent young men to her home to ask the landlord to evict her and her family.
