LUGGAGE BELONGINGS LEFT BEHIND AT OLD DURBAN DRIVE-IN SITE AS 30 000 IMMIGRANTS ARE MOVED TO LIMPOPO
DURBAN-Some foreign nationals accommodated at the Old Drive-In site in Durban reportedly had to leave behind personal belongings after being instructed to carry only one bag when boarding buses to Musina in Limpopo.
The individuals were part of groups being relocated as part of ongoing repatriation and processing arrangements, with transport operations moving people to designated facilities in Musina.
Reports indicate that items such as household goods and personal effects could not be loaded due to space and transport limitations, resulting in some belongings being left at the site.
The situation follows the closure of the temporary holding area at the Old Durban Drive-In, where authorities have since begun rehabilitation and clean-up operations under the eThekwini Municipality.
