Hundreds of Zimbabweans living in Botswana are applying for a trip home, saying the COVID-19 crisis has left them on the edge of starvation. The immigrants usually survive by doing odd jobs, but with Botswana in a lockdown due the coronavirus, they cannot find work to support themselves.
Additionally, the immigrants were initially excluded from the Botswana government’s food parcels.
“We are in a bad state,” said Josephine Mutsaka, 54, one of many Zimbabwean illegal immigrants in Gaborone. “We have no food at the moment, and the only option is to go back home. When we are in Botswana, we survive through ‘piece jobs’ but that has stopped because of the lockdown. We can’t blame the Botswana government for giving priority to its citizens.”
