Humanitarian organisation, Gift of the Givers, says it will assist as many stranded Malawian nationals as possible, provided funding and resources are available.
The organisation has already arranged two buses to transport women and children directly to Malawi.
It is now seeking additional support. This as hundreds of Malawian nationals remain outside the old Durban drive-in site awaiting repatriation.
The eThekwini Municipality closed the site earlier this week.
Gift of the Givers’ community liaison officer, Bilall Jeewa says, “We were asked to come and visit the site because over the past few days, they’ve been accumulating, mostly of Malawian nationals and we’ve noticed that there are a lot of women and children. So, Gift of the Givers, we decided to arrange some buses for repatriation for these women and children to go to Malawi. So, if the funding is available and we have the capacity to handle, we’ll try our level best to do as much as we can.”
