KwaZulu -Natal Premier Thami Ntuli says the temporary repatriation sites in Durban and Pietermaritzburg will close on as all remaining Malawian nationals are being relocated to Musina in Limpopo . This is for the continuation of the repatriation process.
Ntuli says every person must first undergo the necessary immigration and criminal verification processes before leaving South Africa.
These sites will be closed today. No one must come tomorrow to either here in Durban or to Pietermaritzburg because these sites will be closed, but well make it a point that it will be closed when everyone has been transported back home. There are some processes that have to be done before they leave the country because if you do not do a verification, you will find that some have committed crime. But for those who have been concluded to be processed properly here, they will go straight.
