The race to complete the voluntary repatriation of Malawian nationals from South Africa is intensifying as a June 30 deadline set by protest groups draws nearer.
Around 13 000 people have already been transported home from the eastern city of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Province.
However new arrivals continue to gather outside the old drive-in transit camp.
Authorities say the operation is under mounting pressure, with officials working around the clock to process those inside the camp as well as others still waiting outside.
