Zimbabwean man (36) dies while being held at Lindela Deportation Facility in South Africa

A Zimbabwean man, Ntando Ndlovu (36) from Matebeleland North Province died under unclear circumstances while being held at Lindela Deportation Facility in South Africa. Ndlovu is believed to have passed on on 8 December but his family only got to know of it this Tuesday.

Zimbabwe Consular General to South Africa, Mr Batiraishe Mukonoweshuro Said Ndlovu had been arrested for illegal migration. Speaking to The Chronicle, Ndlovu’s sister Samukeliso said that the South African authorities had taken time to inform them because Ntando did not carry any documentation on him. The elder brother, Simon was advised to visit the Registry Office to sign an affidavit to enable them to collect the body which will be buried as soon as it arrives in Zimbabwe.
