Cape Town – Refugees living on Greenmarket Square in the CBD have been ordered by the Western Cape High Court to abide by municipal by-laws. Those refugees occupying the sidewalk have been instructed not to make fires or do their washing there, among other things.
The court has also ordered the City to make a venue available at which the Department of Home Affairs could process the refugees. The case landed in the high court after the City last year brought an application against the refugees, requesting they vacate the church and the area around it, as well as the City Centre.
It sought an interdict against the refugees flouting health and safety laws, and affecting tourism and businesses.
