Zimbabweans voluntary repatriation ongoing

Following plight, the Government of Botswana and Zimbabwean embassy are currently facilitating voluntary repatriation of such persons. Since mid April some Zimbabweans living in Botswana have been surrendering themselves to the police and district commissioners in their area of stay. 

In April 16, 2020 more than 500 deportees from Botswana were sent back home. Then the Government of Botswana transported the Zimbabwean immigrants up to Plumtree border post.
