Malawian nationals in temporary accommodation in Johannesburg as the government facilitates their voluntary repatriation to Malawi.
The government has confirmed that approximately 500 Malawian nationals are being temporarily housed at a church facility in Newlands, Sophiatown, as authorities work to facilitate their voluntary return to Malawi.
The group, which originated from Cape Town, was transported to Gauteng as part of a coordinated repatriation process being managed by the Malawian Embassy in South Africa.
Government confirmed the individuals are receiving care and support at the church while administrative processes are finalised.
"The movement of these individuals forms part of a coordinated process facilitated by the Malawian Embassy, with the intention of supporting their voluntary return to Malawi," government said.
