XenoBarometer tracks the anti-immigrant movement and its impact. We aim to surface underreported stories, paying close attention to potential rights abuses, emerging patterns in anti-immigrant mobilisation and failures in government’s response. This is a project of the Henry Nxumalo Foundation and Viewfinder, and supported by the European Union. It can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the EU. It will be published every Tuesday in partnership with Daily Maverick.
