Durban, South Africa — Former Malawian President Dr. Bakili Muluzi has contributed K10 million to the repatriation of Malawians affected by the recent xenophobic violence in South Africa. This substantial donation has been made in support of a humanitarian campaign led by musician Patience Namadingo and social activist Stanley Onjezani Kenani, who have been instrumental in the repatriation efforts.
The campaign’s focus is on aiding the return of an estimated 10,000 Malawian citizens who have been displaced due to the violence. Dr. Muluzi’s donation, a notable addition to the ongoing humanitarian efforts, follows the initial fundraising drive that has successfully raised funds for evacuation and immediate humanitarian support.
Patience Namadingo and Stanley Onjezani Kenani have visited displaced Malawians in South Africa, advocating for their return and organizing the logistical aspects of repatriation.
In addition to Dr. Muluzi’s contribution, the SKC Foundation has donated relief items worth K10 million to assist women and children returning to Malawi.
The Malawi government has also appealed for donations to address the humanitarian crisis, emphasizing the scale of the situation and the collective effort required.
The violence has been a recurring issue, targeting foreign nationals, including those from neighboring countries like Malawi.
The repatriation efforts, which include coordination with the internationally respected humanitarian organization Gift of the Givers, aim to ensure the safe return of citizens and provide them with immediate humanitarian assistance upon arrival in Malawi.
The ongoing efforts by Malawi’s government and humanitarian organizations reflect a commitment to supporting those affected by the violence and facilitating their return to normalcy.
