This was a grim assessment of life in South Africa by Harare’s outgoing ambassador.

Phelekezela Mphoko told the state-run Sunday News that during his three-year tour of duty he witnessed many Zimbabweans suffering.

Mphoko says young economically active Zimbabweans are dying in South Africa from diseases and at least 30 bodies need to be repatriated each week.
