“WE JUST WANT TO GO HOME” STRANDED ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS PLEAD FOR HELP

Stranded illegal foreigners in South Africa say they want to return home as they wait for repatriation arrangements to be finalised. Speaking to MDNtv, some of those affected said they had been in South Africa for work but are now facing uncertainty, fear and difficult living conditions. They appealed for the process to be fast-tracked so they can leave safely. Community representatives say there are hundreds of people still on site, including men, women, pregnant women and infants. Humanitarian organisations, volunteers and community structures have been assisting with food, water and other support while transport arrangements continue. Watch the full report on MDNtv.
