Zimbabwe's High Commissioner to South Africa, Isaac Moyo says the Zimbabwean government has
concluded plans to begin the evacuation of about 1,000 Zimbabweans resident in South Africa
following the recent xenophobic attacks in the country.
"Identification and processing of
repatriation documents has already been done. It is very sad. Most people do not have any documentation. They don't have any clothes apart from what they are wearing.
Many of them left all their clothes and
property behind. We are documenting
people. This process means that we are
giving them some sort of documentation to use upon returning to Zimbabwe. We are organising some buses to take them from Durban to Beit Bridge (the border between
South Africa and Zimbabwe). Then they will be taken from Beit Bridge to their home provinces. We would want (the departure) to be as soon as possible. People are currently
living in the most difficult conditions" he told the state-owned Chronicle newspaper.
