Three-quarters of Zimbabweans want open borders

Three out of every four Zimbabweans want open borders allowing them to travel, work and trade freely in the Southern African Development Community.

Namibians on the other hand are the most closed society content to stay at home followed by Batswana.

The majority of those who want free movement have post-secondary education standing at 809 percent while those with no formal education are lower at 68 percent.

Reports have put the number of Zimbabweans living outside their country at over three million.
