The government says it is not spending money on food for foreign nationals awaiting repatriation at the Musina Temporary Repatriation Centre, with NGOs stepping in to provide assistance.
The government is not spending money to feed foreign nationals awaiting repatriation at the Temporary Repatriation Centre in Musina, Limpopo, but is only funding officials working on the process.
This was confirmed by Limpopo Home Affairs manager Albert Matsaung.
Thousands of migrants remain at the centre as authorities continue with repatriations and deportations through the Beitbridge Port of Entry, following the closure of the Durban Repatriation Centre.
The move comes as anti-migrant organisations continue to call for undocumented immigrants to leave South Africa.
