Zimbabwe begins evacuation of its citizens from South Africa

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 today.
