1000 Malawian nationals camped outside Sherwood hall are in the country illegally, according to Deputy Minister of Home Affairs

from First Take SA · host SAfm

Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza says about 1,000 Malawian nationals camped outside Sherwood Hall in Durban have been processed and found to be in the country illegally. Congolese Solidarity Campaign President Reverend Raphael Bahebwa disputes this, saying most of the 400 refugees verified on Che Guevara Road hold valid documents. He adds those refugees were instructed this week to return to communities they fled or face transfer to Lindela Repatriation Centre. The conflicting accounts come as displaced families remain on the streets with urgent needs for food and shelter. Reverend Bahebwa joins us now for more details
