Cape Town - The refugees occupying the streets around the Central Methodist Mission in Greenmarket Square are hoping to have a last-minute negotiation with the City of Cape Town in a bid to get temporary shelter when the City’s by-laws evicting them from their camp in the streets is effected.
Mayco Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith said: “As indicated before, the City is committed to resolving the matter as speedily as possible, in line with the court order, and we ask that the public will allow the Department of Home Affairs and the City to give effect to the order.” A post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Public Law at Stellenbosch University, Callixte Kavuro said: “The refugees at Methodist Church should cooperate with local authorities. The obligations of a refugee or an asylum seeker set out in the Refugees Act include: to respect South African laws and regulations. They can challenge any particular unjust policy through judicial review.”
They are not refugees. They are illegal immigrants. Send them home. The way SA is going you might as well call us all refugees in our own country.
They must go home
