More than 20 buses arrive at Sherwood Hall as Malawian repatriation gains momentum.
More than 20 buses have arrived at Sherwood Hall in Durban to begin transporting Malawian nationals back home, marking a long-awaited turning point for thousands who have spent weeks at the site.
Many have been staying at the hall since early June after fleeing alleged violence and mounting anti-migrant tensions that forced them from their homes and workplaces across parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
The area has since been cordoned off with barbed wire following recent clashes in which some Malawians allegedly threw stones at police. Officers responded with rubber bullets and stun grenades.
Forty-three-year-old Chifundo Makwinja is among the thousands eager to return home.
