Zimbabweans working outside the country have expressed mixed feelings over the standard of life they are living in neighbouring countries.

The festive season has seen Zimbabweans who work outside the country trooping back home to enjoy the holidays with families and friends.

Some of the Zimbabweans living in South Africa who are back home revealed to the ZBC that most of them are doing menial jobs as they do not have requisite qualifications.

Others however revealed that there are Zimbabweans in neighbouring countries who hold key positions in large corporates.

Consensus among the group, which in the past used to be known as 'Injivas' due to their perceived flashy lifestyles while back home, is that basic commodities in Zimbabwe are expensive.

While some of those interviewed by ZBC expressed interest to relocate back home, they are concerned that the economy is performing below expectations and would prefer dialogue to find the way forward.

Every December local roads are flooded with vehicles with foreign number plates as Zimbabweans working outside the country come back to spend Christmas and probably be ushered into the New Year with family and friends.
