Cape Town refugees say they have nowhere to go

Refugees and asylum-seekers in Cape Town have been sleeping on the street since Sunday. They say they have nowhere to go. Going to jail is their only option, but they say at least they’ll be safe and have access to water and toilets.

Police are concerned about women and children. The City is expected to head back to the Western Cape Division of the High Court for clarity.

In the meantime, hundreds of migrants still living inside the Central Methodist Church and who have been there for almost five months, have been asked again by the priest to leave.

“We would like to ask the church to continue to be patient with us as you can see the situation with refugees is not good.

“We are asking the pastor and the church to think of these vulnerable kids and women who are here,” said refugees spokesperson, Alide Bukuru.

Bukuru is appealing to international human rights agencies for assistance.

“We as refugees, there is nowhere we can run we are powerless in this country so let us run to the UNHCR because they have a mandate to protect refugees.”
