SLICE OF LIFE: South Africans are not scared to tell us that even the president doesn’t want us here; that we should go back to where we belong.

It’s been so many years that we’ve been tolerating this and that’s why we had to stand together and planned to go the UN office in town to show them we really need help, because President [Cyril] Ramaphosa is doing nothing.

Since being here we’ve not been allowed to use the toilets around the UN offices. We’ve had to go back down to the train station to use the toilets there.There are so many kids here. Even some newborns [are] sleeping on the floor. Some are getting sick, vomiting, getting diarrhoea; it’s so cold. We have been threatened by some South Africans, who came in and started fighting, shouting at us that we were blocking the way and that we should go home. The police have also told us to leave because it’s a busy office area.

All we want is to go to another country where we’re going to be safe with our families, our children.As told to David Harrison by Sherizadi Niyonzima, 22, who with her 18-month-old daughter and hundreds of other refugees, had been sitting outside the United Nations High Commission for Refugees office in St George’s Mall in Cape Town for more than a week, until they were forcibly removed by the police on Wednesday.

I wonder why such resistance for the to go home....

Our Zimbabwean family voted Mugabe to power to continue to loot for 4 millions years , yet its South Africans and our President who doesn’t love them? 🤔

My Africans brothers and sisters my SA is got so many problems which is difficult for us natives to fix you caught in the middle just try & go back home and allow us to fine ways to fix. Don't be sad just go and remember let make MySA and MyAfrica decolonized $ free once & for al

Why should people be scared of telling you the truth? 90% of you are here not because there is wars in your respective country, but because of your laziness to deal with issues affecting economic development in your countries.

This is so malicious and false, some none south African Africans are just manipulative and you never hear them say anything about their country and their ambassadors. Our country is overwhelmed as it is.

South Africans seems to be the most undisciplined child in the African household

Trump don't care 53 African leaders don't care about freedom fighters

Really sad Africa belongs to Africans. I can't help but to think about some who just want a free flight to the US or whatever it is that was a plan from the 1st place before settling in SA.

Even the president doesn't want them in SA?

Desperately ashamed of my country for allowing this to happen 😢

O bolela ma...vo....k maan

We got our own problems as country that we need to sort out too.

The last time I checked we had millions of migrants/refugees who live in SA peacefully. They receive free education,medical care, they own businesses n some are employed irrespective of their nationality. These Xenophobic campaign is nothing but people who are ungrateful.

South Africa is full of fractured souls, shame. Bear with us. 😢
