AT least 300 Zimbabweans have died in South Africa over the past five months, according to The Herald daily. Most of those who died since the beginning of the year were robbed in Johannesburg’s high-rise Hillbrow suburb, the newspaper reported. Apparently, more than 290 bodies were repatriated from South Africa to Zimbabwe between January and May this year, although some of those died of natural causes, including HIV-related diseases. The report flies in the face of claims in South Africa that Zimbabweans are behind most of the country’s violent crime.
