NSWAZWI: The adage blood is thicker than water finds expression here as Nswazwi village leader, Kgosi Batshani Madawo II Monyatsi Nswazwi calls for compatriots who did not repatriate from Zimbabwe in 2006 to do so.

He feels that they too have to consider relocating to change their lives for the better as they live in inhuman and degrading circumstances compared to their counterparts here."I was not impressed with their living conditions during my visit there last year. They live in abject poverty without food and most basic needs.
