GREENMARKET SQUARE CRISIS: ‘We have nowhere to go’: Cape Town refugees fear the worst after court grants interdict By Sandisiwe Shoba

“If I dare go inside there, maybe I will die.”

Nadine Kabanga Nkurikiye, a Burundian living in the church, says she won’t return to her community even if the conditions in the church are unlivable. Judge Thulare told the court that the City and municipalities had an obligation to assist refugees who were in “distress” and felt they could not return to their communities.

Spokesperson for the UNHCR in South Africa, Heinn Shin, said the agency was still engaging with refugees in South Africa, though they didn’t stipulate if they were in direct contact with the protesters in Cape Town. In court Judge Thulare criticised Balous and Sukami for “deceiving” the refugees, some of whom were “vulnerable” and “abusing the right to protest”.

They fear fokol, people are just manipulating and blackmailing the SA government for their own personal gains, to the extent they even fight among themselves for positions who to lead

They have their countries to go to. What's the 'worst' they claim to fear? Time for people to take responsibility for the shambles their countries are in. Go back home and form movements, demand reform from your leaders. TheResistance2020
