Home Affairs faces refugee threat

UCT's legal aid clinic is preparing to ask the Public Protector to investigate the department of home affairs over the situation at its Cape Town offices.

This comes as an overwhelming number of asylum-seekers at the refugee centre on the Foreshore fail to get refugee status...

Kerfoot said the Legal Resources Centre was helping more than 250 asylum seekers every day.

"The situation is getting worse with the Zimbabwean and Congolese refugees," he added. - Cape Argus
