Rwahama said the group will then head to Nkamira Transit Centre in Rubavu District, Western Province, adding that the majority of them had made up their minds to return following a decision to invoke the UN Cessation Clause on Rwandan refugees.
About 70,000 Rwandans are believed to be living as refugees in various countries. Since 1994, more than 3.4 million Rwandan refugees have voluntarily repatriated.
Last week, more than 40 people returned from DRC, while a family arrived from Zimbabwe.
