Well some more "positive news" from the SA prosecutors.
(Old news deleted)
The 62 South African alleged mercenaries expected to return from Zimbabwe on Thursday will not be arrested on their return, but may be prosecuted, the national prosecuting authority (NPA) said.
NPA spokesperson Makhosini Nkosi said the Scorpions were probing whether the men had contravened the country's Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act. If so, they would face prosecution.
"We will speak to them when appropriate... They've been in jail for a year and want to see their families. Their families want to see them," Nkosi said.
"We have contact with their lawyer and know where to find them. So why would we want to arrest them?"
The men, whose jail term expired two days ago were still in a Zimbabwean prison by 07:00 on Thursday, their lawyer, Alwyn Griebenow, said from Harare.
Griebenow said his clients were still behind bars at the Chikurubi maximum security prison outside Harare.
Griebenow said he and his corresponding attorney would be meeting with Zimbabwean immigration officials in the morning to take the matter further.
"I'm convinced they'll be on their way home today," Griebenow said. ............................ Full report :

"Mercenaries are security risk"
The 62 South African alleged mercenaries in Zimbabwe would be transported to South Africa in Zimbabwean government vehicles, their lawyer Alwyn Griebenow said on Thursday.
"We offered to supply a bus to bring them back, but it has been turned down because they (government officials) say they are a security risk. They are in a meeting now discussing this," he told Sapa from Harare.
Griebenow said he hoped to hear what the plans were by
noon.
