Thomas Nardi has met some of those starting over in Ghana and Nigeria.
This was the moment the first flight-carrying Nigerians from South Africa landed in Lagos and a voluntary repatriation program.
For years, many had built lives in South Africa, but as anti-immigration protests grew, some felt they had no choice but to leave.
For 15 years, Richard built a life in South Africa.
He ran a vehicle refurbishment business, bought a house, got married and became the father of twin daughters.
He thought he had found stability.
Then everything changed.
Protesters demanded undocumented migrants leave South Africa.
But Richard, who claimed legal status, said he also faced harassment.
He says his biggest loss is being separated from his family, especially his South African wife.
He says starting a business again has been difficult.
I feel useless.
I feel empty.
In April, Emanuela Samoa, a Ghanaian hair stylist, was confronted by a group of South Africans in a viral video.
I'm in Ghana now.
I'm fixing my country.
The video sparked outrage online and prompted the Ghanaian government to start immediate evacuation of its citizens.
Emmanuel was the first Ghanaian to be repatriated by the Ghanaian government.
He has since started a business in Accra with the support of the Ghanaian authorities.
Like Emmanuel, Ghanaian footballer Aiden Harris also joined Ghana's repatriation program, alleging authorities in South Africa are failing to stop vigilante attacks on migrants.
