If we assume all the 15 units/individuals about which we have insufficient information went to rural areas, this would give the highest possible estimate of 24 unit/individual returnees: => between 7% and 16% of the displaced returned to rural areas.95 In the graph following: • The first five columns are those who are known to have kept their urban identity: 84 % • Columns 6 to 8 are those who are known to have made a partial/ total return to a rural home: 7% • In 10% of cases, there is no information on where people are now. • The vast majority of the displaced remained in the greater Bulawayo area – 76% (columns one, two and four). • 12% of families were forced to split up as a result of the demolitions (columns 4 to 7).
