It was motivated by the paucity of scholarly literature about the migration of Malawian transnational migrants to South Africa for educational purposes. To interrogate this, the study used the Transnationalism, Aspiration, and Agency conceptual lens to examine the lived experiences of Malawian transnational students living in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Using a qualitative research methodology and case study design, the empirical data for this study was collected through semi-structured individual interviews with ten (10) Malawian transnational students. The data was thematically analysed in line with the objectives of the study.en© 2022 University of Pretoria. All rights reserved. The copyright in this work vests in the University of Pretoria.
