South African Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi denies allegations that Malawian nationals are being transported to Johannesburg rather than repatriated to their home country. The claims, reported as accusations of mismanagement, suggest that some people were allegedly bussed from Durban to Johannesburg instead of being processed for return. In response, Kubayi says the allegations are incorrect and that her department’s approach to handling vulnerable populations is being carried out as intended, amid a complex migration environment. The denial comes as questions are raised about how repatriation and related processes are managed for people who are subject to immigration enforcement. While the reports focus on the alleged transport route and the failure to complete repatriation, the minister’s position is that the allegations do not reflect what is happening. The dispute centers on whether departures from South Africa are being conducted as planned or whether individuals are being left in Johannesburg in place of being returned to Malawi.
