After the 30 June “deadline”, does public anger match the evidence on migration?

Georgina Campbell, researcher and practitioner at the Wild Law Institute, speaks to John Maytham about a new perspective on South Africa’s migration debate in the aftermath of the 30 June anti-immigration “deadline”, which saw heightened public attention, protest activity, and intense social media debate. She unpacks the argument that rising anti-migrant sentiment may be driven more by economic frustration and perception than by the available evidence, including research suggesting migrants often contribute to economic activity and job creation. Campbell also discusses major gaps in migration data in South Africa, and why many public claims about undocumented migration remain difficult to verify.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.
