Zimbabwe’s government says it has repatriated 99,418 citizens from South Africa since May, in a period described as just over six weeks. Both reports state that the majority of returnees are women and children, making up more than 70% of those repatriated.
The figures are presented as the latest update amid continued returns of Zimbabweans from South Africa. The reports add that Zimbabwe is receiving thousands of returning nationals through the Beitbridge Border Post, which serves as a key entry point from South Africa.
The accounts attribute the ongoing repatriation to migration-related developments in South Africa, though they do not provide specific details about the causes in the excerpts provided. No figures on how many people have returned via other routes or on the pace of daily arrivals are included in the provided text.
Overall, the sources agree on the scale of repatriations cited by the government, the composition of returnees, and the role of the Beitbridge Border Post in the process.
