Centenas buscam repatriação em locais de Durban em meio à violência em KZN

Centenas de imigrantes chegaram a locais improvisados de repatriação em Durban, fugindo da violência em suas comunidades. As instalações atingiram a capacidade máxima, com alguns dormindo ao relento sem serviços básicos.

Até terça-feira, dezenas de pessoas aguardavam do lado de fora dos portões do local Old Drive-In em Durban. Mulheres e crianças foram autorizadas a entrar às 18h e escoltadas pela polícia.

Milhares de pessoas deslocadas, em sua maioria malawianos, estão alojadas em tendas nas instalações após terem sido despejadas ou ameaçadas. Alguns que chegaram no domingo passaram duas noites ao relento sem água, banheiros ou comida.

Ônibus organizados pela Gift of the Givers transportaram pessoas para o Malawi, com dois ônibus de 65 lugares partindo na segunda-feira e mais 12 na terça-feira. As tensões aumentaram à medida que as pessoas tentavam furar filas, levando policiais metropolitanos a usar escudos de choque.

Em Pietermaritzburg, mais de 1.600 malawianos buscaram refúgio em um prédio desativado após ataques no assentamento informal de Jika Joe. O governo informou que havia repatriado cerca de 7.000 malawianos até segunda-feira.
