A Pretoria High Court order directs the City of Tshwane, the Department of Home Affairs and the police to act collectively in a joint operation to identify the foreign protesters camped outside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees offices in Pretoria and ascertain who is legally authorised to remain in South Africa. The department is thereafter ordered to apply the immigration laws of the country.

A spokesman for the protesting migrants Alex Mongo said they would oppose the order to leave the area. He also said the refugees would prepare to walk to Namibia. ‘I can’t tell you when we will start the walk because I do not trust that we will be safe if people know when we are leaving,’ Mongo said. We have to oppose the order [even if they] have granted it already.

On 5 November 2019, two Pretoria homeowners associations acting on behalf of the residents of the affected areas approached the high court for an order directing the City of Tshwane, the Minister of Home Affairs and the police to act within their statutory duties and remove the refugees in accordance with the immigration laws of South Africa.
