But South African officials believe wider migration talks among all African nations could address the broader causes of the migration crisis throughout the continent as well as South Africa.
South Africa opposed the idea, protesting it would be singled out without addressing the broader crisis.
The countries expected at the talks in the South African city of Durban include Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, which have been repatriating some of their nationals from South Africa.
South Africa International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola said Wednesday that the talks would address factors causing irregular migration in various areas including North Africa.
While the exact breakdown of the repatriated nationals and those deported remains unclear, most were from Malawi, followed by Zimbabwe and Mozambique, according to the South African government.
