‘Assist Zimbabweans in tornado-hit South Africa’

THE Matabeleland Institute for Human Rights (MIHR) has called on the government to investigate whether there are any Zimbabweans based in South Africa affected by a tornado that hit that country and assist them.

A tornado hit South Africa early last week, leaving a trail of destruction, reports from the neighbouring country say.

MIHR said it also received reports of people resident in Thembisa, confirming that their rights to “access to shelter, clean and safe water, food and clothing have been compromised due to the tornado effects”.
