Postdoctoral Researcher at Institute for Democracy Citizenship and Public Policy in Africa, University of Cape Town

A graduate with a D.Phil in Conflict Transformation from the University of KwaZulu Natal and former lecturer at the Institution. A current postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cape Town (Institute for Democracy, Citizenship and Public Policy in Africa) where my research interests involve exploring the pattern and causes of coerced migration (forced migration drivers), protection gaps and statelessness. Most of my recent work has focused on Congolese refugees and their access to commodity bundles in South Africa as well as the interplay between social closure, refugee policy implementation gaps, and forced migrants vulnerability.
