A 64-year-old Zimbabwean who returned from South Africa after anti-immigrant unrest is appealing for help to find relatives in Bulawayo whom he has not seen in nearly 30 years.
Police in Bulawayo have warned motorists to take extra precautions after a sharp rise in the theft of old-shape Honda Fit vehicles, with 14 reported stolen in June alone.
Zimbabwe has more than two million citizens living in South Africa, but fewer than 100,000 have so far returned home under the government’s repatriation programme, prompted by rising anti-immigrant tensions.
Police have launched a nationwide operation targeting serious crime and traffic offences as part of efforts to maintain law and order, protect lives and property, and improve road safety.
