Heated debate unfolds during Komani immigration protest

A heated debate unfolded at the Hexagon in Komani on Wednesday afternoon during a protest calling for the deportation of undocumented foreign nationals.

The demonstration drew a sizeable crowd as residents gathered to voice concerns about undocumented immigration.

Video from the scene shows an animated exchange between a local woman, who indicated that she is married to a Malawian national, and another individual in the crowd.

During the discussion, claims were made that some foreign-owned businesses generate significant income while allegedly contributing little or no tax revenue. The woman challenged some of the assertions, leading to a tense back-and-forth that attracted the attention of onlookers.

The exchange took place as protesters continued their demonstration at the Hexagon, with emotions running high among some members of the crowd.

The protest formed part of a broader call for authorities to take action against undocumented foreign nationals living and operating businesses in the area.

More information will be published as it becomes available.
