There is still a flood of displaced people into Cape Town's six main campsites following the xenophobic attacks. However, the city says reintegrating most of the displaced foreigners, who want to stay in the country, could start within a month.
Meanwhile, foreign nationals who are temporarily housed at Zolani Centre in Nyanga on the Cape Flats say it is too soon for them to be reintegrated back into communities.
Even at some places of refuge, there lurks an element of danger. A Somali national was arrested for stabbing his compatriot at the Blanco Community Hall in George, after they reportedly fought over a blanket. The man was seriously injured and had to be rushed to hospital.
The Western Cape provincial government has applied to national government to have certain zones declared disaster areas. Over R13 million has been spent on relief efforts since the outbreak of violence. A proper registration process is underway to ensure that victims of the xenophobic attacks are the only ones who receive aid. - SABC
