Zimbabwe urges SA-based citizens to return home

The Zimbabwe Government has told citizens facing xenophobic attacks in SA to return home and take up jobs allegedly created under President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration, reports News24. Responding to questions in Parliament about what Harare was doing to protect Zimbabweans targeted in SA, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said those affected should come back and benefit from opportunities in Zimbabwe. ‘Our Labour Ministry has statistics of many jobs created by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government since he took over power in 2018. Therefore, those who are outside the country should come, get jobs and enjoy life in Zimbabwe,’ Ziyambi said. He added that Zimbabwe maintained good relations with SA and that anti-foreigner protests by pressure groups such as March and March did not reflect the SA Government’s position.
