Refugees Demand Humane Solution | Johannesburg News

Over 250 refugees camped on Che Guevara Road in Durban since late May are being offered transport to the controversial Lindela Repatriation Centre — a facility they call a prison with human rights abuses. While some accept the move citing safety, most refuse, demanding humane alternatives. Authorities, including the provincial premier and Congolese ambassador, call the encampment illegal and a health risk, planning to repatriate verified cases and reintegrate others. Police may intervene to clear the site, while aid groups help arrange transport — but refugees say their voices are ignored. Caught between safety and dignity, this standoff highlights a deeper crisis of compassion and policy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
