South Africa begins deportation of illegal Zimbabwean immigrants

Hundreds of illegal Zimbabwean migrants are to be deported from South Africa on Wednesday following the forced repatriation of one hundred and forty former-prisoners this weekend.

Reports say nine hundred and fifty Zimbabwean migrants who have broken South African immigration regulations have been identified at Lindela Holding Centre in Johannesburg.

Zimbabwe's Consul-General to South Africa said most of the immigrants at the transit camp will be sent home this week.

South Africa has been a destination of choice for decades for Zimbabweans seeking jobs away from home, but migrants have not always crossed legally into the country.
