A recent call for help by a South Africa family whose son died while visiting Zimbabwe, has placed focus on the difficulties involved in repatriating loved ones who die outside their home country. Losing a loved one is a universal pain, but for the millions living in the diaspora, that grief often comes with a double trauma, when families are suddenly thrust into a high-stakes race against time, navigating complex international laws, staggering costs, and the logistical nightmare of bringing a body home for burial. It's a reality many of us avoid discussing at the dinner table until it's a crisis. For a look at what you need to know about the costs relating to the complexities of repatriating the remains of a loved one, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to founder and CEO of Diaspora Insurance, Jeff Madzingo
