Abstract

[This chapter argues that the securitisation and the spatial mobility of borders beyond the physical line on the map into the interior of states, such as the case of South Africa so as to monitor and “border” migrants between neighbouring countries, are counterproductive. This is precisely because these migrants come from member states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). On this basis, this chapter calls for border management strategies which should reduce the impact of the border—both actual and symbolic, so as to create decent conditions for migrants to live and earn livelihoods as regional citizens of SADC.]
