Introduction

Jephias Matunhu draws from primary sources to argue that Africans are one people and that social integration is still possible, despite the challenges. Matunhu starts by examining the migration patterns in sub-Saharan Africa, before going on to discuss the challenges of social integration and the strategies that can be used to integrate immigrants into host communities. The chapter concludes with a strong argument that social cohesion in Africa is achieved when there is mutual agreement between migrants and locals. As a recommendation, Matunhu notes that Pan-Africanism based on Ubuntu or collective solidarity can promote social integration of diverse communities, despite the challenges.
