Minister of Justice and chairperson of the inter-ministerial committee on migration, Mmamoloko Kubayi, has publicly rebuffed claims that scores of Malawian nationals have been bused from Durban to Johannesburg instead of being returned to their homeland.
In a social media post on Monday, Kubayi addressed the allegations directly and assured the public of the integrity of the repatriation process, after unverified video clips surfaced showing a group of alleged immigrants gathered in a building.
Kubayi's address was preceded by a site visit and site inspection at Sherwood on Sunday afternoon, where she evaluated the progress being made on the repatriation processes currently under way in the province.
The reports also come as scores of Malawian nationals have taken refuge at Mayors Walk in Pietermaritzburg after fleeing alleged violence in the Jika Joe informal settlement, with many of them also seeking to be returned to the country of their origin.
