"They're Weary, Children Are Restless," Govt Officials Speak On Returnees Stuck In Beitbridge
Junior government officials at the Beitbridge quarantine centre have said that returnees from South Africa are stuck in Beitbridge due to shortage of buses to ferry them to their respective provinces.
They told the Standard that the delay in the provision of transport has left some returnees in a sorry state. One of the officials said:
Buses are not readily available and this is the cause of delay. These people are weary and children are restless.
FeedbackThere are no sleeping facilities. We also do not have enough food for the crowds and something must be done fast.
The remarks are a reiteration of earlier reports which said that Beitbridge was not prepared to cater for all the expected returnees.
