BBC AfricaAccording to a BBC Africa report, South African police have launched an investigation into the killing of two Mozambican men in the north of the country. Details of the incident have not yet been shared publicly, but officials said the circumstances of the deaths are being assessed. The incident has revived discussion of cross-border migration and security between the two countries.
Mozambique's Foreign Ministry said it wants the investigation to be completed quickly. According to officials, the two countries had previously held diplomatic exchanges on incidents of violence against migrant workers. Civil society groups are calling for additional measures to protect migrant communities.
South Africa's Home Affairs Ministry said the findings of the investigation would be shared with the public. The incident shows that despite stronger economic ties between the two countries, cross-border migration remains a sensitive issue. Migration and security files are expected to be revisited within the SADC framework.
