Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa says Zimbabwe’s economy is doing “very well” and is capable of absorbing Zimbabwean citizens who are being repatriated from South Africa. He makes the claim in the context of Zimbabweans being “hounded out” of South Africa for alleged illegal presence there. According to reports, Mutsvangwa tells South African broadcaster Newzroom Afrika that the government is currently repatriating Zimbabweans who want to return, and argues that the country can accommodate those returning. The articles present his comments as a justification for the expectation that returned citizens can be supported by Zimbabwe’s economic performance. They do not provide independent figures or details on the scale of repatriations, the conditions of return, or the state of employment and capacity in Zimbabwe. Overall, both outlets report the same viewpoint from Mutsvangwa: Zimbabwe’s economy has sufficient strength to absorb citizens returning from South Africa amid concerns about their legal status in that country.
