Over 72,000 Zimbabweans repatriated from South Africa

Over 72,000 Zimbabweans returned from South Africa under the ongoing repatriation program, according to government figures. The border facility implemented measures to manage increased passenger flows while maintaining immigration and customs procedures. Authorities continue processing returnees at Beitbridge Border Post under compressed timelines. The influx places sustained pressure on border infrastructure and reception services. Government agencies coordinate reintegration support including healthcare, education, and employment registration for the returning citizens.
