The mayor of eThekwini Municipality, Cyril Xaba, has made an urgent appeal to the Minister of Home Affairs to intervene and relocate a group of foreign nationals currently camping outside the department’s Durban offices.
The group has been sleeping on the streets after they were moved from the Diakonia Centre in the Durban CBD last week. The group of about 300 people had camped at the centre seeking refuge allegedly because they fear for their lives, which they claimed has been threatened by anti-illegal immigrant groups in their various areas of abode.
