Asylum seekers gather and queue outside the Home Affairs Refugee Reception Centre on Che Guevara Road in Durban after March and March members block access to the facility. Reports describe scores of people waiting in the heat to apply for refugee status while the centre is shut down.
Outlets differ mainly in how they frame the incident: some focus on the visible gathering outside the centre, while others emphasize that the blockage is linked to actions by “March and March” that prevent entry to the reception point. Both accounts, however, describe disruption to the process for asylum applications at the Durban site and a crowd of applicants outside as access is halted.
The reporting provided does not include details on the duration of the shutdown, the stated reasons for the blockage, or how authorities respond, leaving those elements unclear across the available sources.
