Description
“My kids are being bullied in school,” says Peter Odike, describing growing fear among immigrants in South Africa.
Married to a South African and naturalised in 2006, he says citizenship has not shielded him from harassment and attacks.
South Africa is facing mounting diplomatic pressure following anti-immigration protests, with Nigeria the latest to call for action.
Although President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised to tackle immigration challenges, many African migrants say they are still living in fear.
