Government scaling down operations at the Musina Temporary Repatriation Processing Centre

# The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration says operations at the Musina Temporary Repatriation Processing Centre in Limpopo will be scaled down from 20-thousand to one-thousand-500 capacity from the first of August. This follows a sustained decline in the number of undocumented foreign nationals requiring processing at the facility. More than 68-thousand foreign nationals have been processed for repatriation or deportation at the centre since June. Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, says the phased reduction in operations will not compromise government’s ability to process undocumented foreign nationals or carry out deportations and repatriations.
