Password: tqeo*x86sG) \nMusina is often understood as a border town: a point of entry into South Africa and a place through which migrants pass. Musina in Motion offers a different spatial reading. Drawing on the GEMMS survey\, sampling coordinates and mapping layers\, the presentation examines the town as part of a Southern African system of migration\, circulation\, settlement and cross-border connection. It brings together birthplace\, most recent migration origin\, frequency of cross-border movement\, settlement histories and neighbourhood location to show how mobility is organised across Musina. Rather than treating people as migrant or settled residents\, the analysis reveals overlapping forms of residence\, repeated movement\, regional connection and local attachment. It asks what becomes visible when migration data are put back into space\, and what spatial analysis adds to understanding border-town life. The analysis presented in this paper was supported by the Gendered Violence and Poor Mental Health among Migrants in Precarious Situations Global Health Research Group (GEMMS). GEMMS is funded by the NIHR (NIHR Global Health Research; grant nihr134629) using UK aid from the UK Government to support global health research\, awarded to the University of Essex\, UK (lead organisation; PI: Prof Anuj Kapilashrami; Co-Director: Prof Jo Vearey\, Wits University). The views expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the UK government. \nAbout the Presenters: \n\nDr. Kabiri Bule is an Urban Researcher and Quantitative Analyst at ACMS\, University of the Witwatersrand.\nDr. Sostina S.
