The following video gives us an insight into the precarious lives of Zimbabwean migrants entering and living in South Africa. They are subject to rape, attack, xenophobia, police harrassment and appalling living conditions. MSF is currently providing thousands of these vulnerable people with essential healthcare at its clinics in the border town of Musina and Johannesburg.
Since 2007, MSF has been providing basic primary health care, referral to secondary and specialised care, emergency medical treatment for victims of violence and epidemic outbreaks, and care for survivors of sexual violence. MSF has been working in South Africa since 1999 and operates medical humanitarian projects in Musina, Johannesburg and Khayelitsha near Cape Town.
