Malawian nationals have gathered at the Mayor’s Walk site in Pietermaritzburg after mob violence at the Jika Joe informal settlement left one dead and another seriously injured.
Dozens of Malawian nationals have gathered at a site in Pietermaritzburg after mob violence led to one person being killed and another being serious injured on Friday.
The mob attack on the Malawians living in the Jika Joe informal settlement came after the March and March movement had staged a protest on Friday against illegal immigration in the CBD.
Since then a stream of Malawian nationals have gathered at the Mayor's Walk site hoping to be repatriated. According to officials, the number of people at the site continues to grow as more and more people arrive.
The Msunduzi Municipality has now said that it was making arrangements to transport the group of Malawian nationals to the Lindela repatriation centre in Pretoria.
