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 today.
