A coalition of South African civil society groups, including the National Campaign Against Xenophobia and more than 130 organisations such as trade unions, civic formations and civil society bodies, calls for urgent action regarding a group of documented refugees. The groups say the refugees are sleeping outside the Department of Home Affairs premises on Che Guevara Road in Durban for more than four weeks. The campaign says the situation highlights ongoing concerns about how refugees are supported and processed, particularly in relation to access to services and safe accommodation while awaiting assistance. The report states that the refugees have remained outside the department for an extended period, despite having documentation, and that the coalition is raising public awareness and urging relevant authorities to intervene. The focus of the reports is on the duration of the situation and the fact that the individuals affected are documented refugees rather than people without records. Overall coverage emphasizes the campaign’s request for immediate steps to address the refugees’ conditions and improve responsiveness from the Home Affairs department.
