A group of 150 Malawians repatriated from South Africa amid growing worries about xenophobia are due to arrive by road in their home country on Monday, the Malawian authorities have said.

The repatriation follows violence in South Africa’s Western Cape Province where there were reports a week ago of door-to-door intimidation, as well as the deaths of two Mozambicans in Mossel Bay.

The Malawians were “among a number of foreign nationals” who had “sought refuge in temporary camps” in Mossel Bay, according to a statement from Lilongwe.
