Six buses full of Zimbabweans fleeing xenophobic violence in Durban have crossed the border back home - and some on board have harrowing tales to tell of the attacks they witnessed, state media reported on Tuesday.
The first batch of 407 Zimbabwean repatriates only arrived on the Zimbabwean side of Beitbridge border post late on Monday after a four-hour delay on the South African side of the crossing, the official Chronicle newspaper said in Bulawayo.
Up to 2 000 Zimbabweans want to be repatriated.
One man spoke of watching his brother being beheaded in Durban in a terrible attack that has not yet been confirmed by South African police.
Climate Mushanga said a group of youths "stormed into our house and started assaulting us", killing Pepukai Museyi, his brother, the newspaper reported.
"I witnessed them killing my brother in a very brutal manner and I'm really devastated and that experience is now haunting me," Mushanga, 34, told the newspaper.
