The Malawian Government announced that it had hired two buses to repatriate nationals, who were displaced, following xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa.
The Secretary for the Department of Disaster Management Affairs, Wilson Moleni said in a statement that the repatriated Malawians would be back home on Thursday.
Moleni said the repatriation was decided after the government received a report from the Malawi High Commission in South Africa that 113 Malawians had been displaced.
The secretary said the displaced Malawians were being kept in temporary shelters set by the South Africa’s disaster management authorities in Katlehong town, 35 kilometres east of Johannesburg.
He added out of the one hundred and thirteen displaced Malawians, 76 expressed willingness to return home.
