The UN Migration Agency (IOM) defines a migrant as any person who is moving or has moved across an international border or within a state away from their habitual place of residence, regardless of (1) the person's legal status; (2) whether the movement is voluntary or involuntary; (3) what the causes for the movement are; or (4) what the length of the stay is. This book brings to light the lived experiences of migrants in South Africa, and indeed across the world. It tells the story of one man, as he navigates the issues of race, xenophobia, faith, friendship, kindness, love, nation-building and political diplomacy.
