More than 7 000 Malawian nationals repatriated from Durban

Home Affairs Minister, Leon Schreiber, says more than 7-thousand undocumented Malawian nationals have now been repatriated from Durban. Schreiber has conducted an oversight visit at the new temporary repatriation site, in the north beach area. Authorities have closed the Sherwood Hall site, where conditions became undesirable, and moved all displaced migrants to the new site. At the same time, more than a thousand Malawian nationals have occupied a condemned building in Pietermaritzburg, after they fled alleged violence at the Jika Joe informal settlement on Friday, which left one Malawian man dead. Officials continue to organise buses to take the Malawians home.
