Refugees and asylum seekers living outside Durban’s Home Affairs reception centre on Moore Road fear a confrontation ahead of a planned march and demonstration on Thursday, 10 September, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli says. The group is concerned about possible clashes as plans for the protest proceed.
Ntuli says authorities are seeking a lawful solution to manage the situation. The reporting frames the issue as an effort to address the refugees’ concerns while ensuring the march and demonstration can take place within legal boundaries. However, specific details about the planned route, permit status, or any concrete assurances from officials are not provided in the information available, leaving uncertainty about how the situation will be handled on the day.
