Hungry and desperate immigrants are struggling to survive during the lockdown

“I don’t know if this is illegal,” says Cora Bailey quietly as she opens a gate leading to a small garden tucked inside Community-Led Animal Welfare in Durban Deep.

“I find it so humiliating for people to have to queue for food with their children It robs them of their dignity and weakens their immune systems.” Clutching her packet of maize meal, Patience Moyo tells how if it wasn’t for Claw’s help, she and her family would have starved by now. Fellow Zimbabwean Thembinkosi Khanyi lost her monthly income of R500 a month in the artisanal mining industry when the lockdown started. “As foreigners, we are forgotten. You can’t get the Ramaphosa food parcels if you don’t have a South African ID, which we don’t have. And we can’t go back home because the borders are closed.”

“We don’t know day-to-day what we’re going to have for the next day and you don’t want to see anyone going hungry. Somehow, every day there is at least something. Dog poisoning cases have surged, too, and more and more people, evicted and out of a job, can no longer take care of the animals they love.“It’s heartbreaking I get people saying ‘here’s my ID can you organise the government food parcel for me?’ I’ve given my details to so many people and wonder whether those food parcels have actually arrived.”

Simple: ask for permission to go back to your home! This is your foreign county

They are alot of them forsaken by the government event their own money for UIF they don't want to pay them deptoflabour SAHRCommission CyrilRamaphosa MYANC EFFSouthAfrica please help refugees and asylum seekers

They must go back to their countries

Hamba khaya

This is an opportunity to return to their countries for 'better' service

This is sad 😔

Many South Africans didn't get food parcels as well🤔

sephiritsikeli This Lockdown shown especially in the relief form the Govt on the social welfare is poorly managed. Citizens are also not receiving the so much talked food parcels mainly because of the ANC counselors. Now it will be naive to think foreign nationals/Refugees will be considered

Black lives don't matter to the communist ANC regime. Commies aren't sentimental that way. Mao killed 60m Chinese (and the survivors are killing millions because of their filthy eating habits.)

Again, I have to ask this question? Where are the wokey-woke brigade? Why no criticism of human rights abuses by the ANC?

Haba tsamaye ba seka kgutla

What happened to Ubuntu? ?

How are the 30.4 Million Azanians who live below the poverty line surviving?
