Conclusion
Thousands of displaced Zimbabweans in De Doorns have been all but forgotten by the
authorities and the media. Their sad story of xenophobic victimization has been pushed under
the mat, along with the tens of thousands of other sad stories that Zimbabwean migrants
around South Africa can tell. Yet, marginalized as this group has been made to feel, their need
to work and their need to feel safe means that at least half of them will continue to eke out
difficult lives as aliens in an alien land.
