I am at the Thohoyandou police station. This is where about 150 or more than 150 Zimbabwean undocumented immigrants have slept over here at the police station. This after they were allegedly kicked from their rented accommodation by their landlords and they seek refuge here at the police station. And now the Zimbabwean government has organized a bus to ensure that they are repatriated or deported back to their home country. But as you can see, that bus is leaving, going to Musina, 70 undocumented immigrants have boarded and they are on their way to Musina. But others, the 100, the 160 undocumented immigrants, they are still here. And we understand that today they will be taken to the Musina repatriation camp where they will begin their repatriation or deportation processes. As you can see, some of their belongings are here. They were unable to fit inside the bus. And for more, due to the number of people, they were told that another bus will be made available for those who are still here. And we understand that they will be taken to the Musina repatriation camp where they will begin their repatriation or deportation processes. As you can see, some of their belongings are here. They were unable to fit inside the bus.
