The eThekwini Municipality has reiterated that the former Durban Drive-In repatriation facility remains closed and has urged employers, transport operators and members of the public to stop bringing undocumented foreign nationals to the site.

The eThekwini Municipality has reiterated that the former Durban Drive-In site is closed and is no longer operating as a temporary repatriation facility for undocumented foreign nationals.

The Municipality said it remains concerned that, despite several public notices confirming the closure, some employers of undocumented foreign nationals continue to drop off workers outside the former Drive-In site.

It urged employers, transport operators and members of the public not to bring undocumented foreign nationals to the site, as no services are being provided there.

The Municipality said the temporary repatriation processing centre for undocumented foreign nationals has been centralised in Musina, Limpopo, under the coordination of the Department of Home Affairs.
