Abstract

The Southern African region provides the backdrop that informs much of the complexities of mobility, border making and border crossing that the world is currently grappling with. With the global migration crisis intensifying, the movement of men, women and children in search of better opportunities will deepen and host countries will be challenged to integrate and revitalise new societies that will emerge as a result. It summarises seminal arguments around the possibilities of regional integration in Southern Africa as a regenerative mechanism. It further builds an ambitious imagining framework and reflects how the region can re-imagine borderless citizenship moving forward.

In fact according to Mamdani (1996; 219), colonial states authorised their rule through direct and indirect rule and an organising logic for citizenship was characterised by both the incorporation of ‘native authorities’ and/or settler colonial governments in most African states. This characterised migrants who are deemed non-citizens as ‘free peasants’ in an urban industrial settings without fully incorporating them into the political, social, and economic fabric of colonial states.
