Mangwana pleaded with Zimbabweans to be patient as more of its citizens will be returning home.
More Zimbabwean nationals will be heading home today amid the national lockdown that has left most stranded in South Africa.
The Zimbabwean embassy in South Africa said at least 400 Zimbabweans would travel home today with the help of businessman Justice Maphosa, who hired buses for the repatriation.The embassy said in a statement: “The embassy subsequently received plentiful distress calls from some Zimbabwean nationals who are in South Africa.
“To that end, the embassy sought travel permits for Zimbabweans who were in need of self-repatriation, using own transport as well as buses, from South Africa’s department of international relations and cooperation, and many have since travelled back home while others are still waiting for their travel permits. There are buses set to ferry Zimbabwean nationals back home, under the self-funded repatriation where travellers pay for their own transportation.
“11 buses with 527 deportees have arrived in Beitbridge at around 1,500 hours. 129 are ex-convicts. Mash East has two people, Mash Central four, Mash West five, Bulawayo 101, Masvingo 100, Midlands 41, Manicaland 69, Mat North 54 and Mat South 64 and Harare 87. Seven of the 527 are females,” he said.Mash East has 2 people, Mash Central 4, Mash West 5, Bulawayo 101, Masvingo 100, Midlands 41, Manicaland 69, Mat North 54 and Mat South 64 and Harare 87. 7 of the 527 are females.
