Refugees and asylum-seekers involved in the protests in Cape Town and Pretoria in South Africa have been urged to respect the laws of the country. Foreign nationals staging a sit-in outside UNHCR offices in Cape Town were forcefully evicted last week following a court order, another group continues to protest outside UN offices in Pretoria. The grievance raised by the group is their dissatisfaction with living in South Africa, and they are therefore demanding that the UNHRC relocate them to another country.
Joining us today is:
• Joan Allison, from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees,
• Neeshan Balton, executive director of the Kathrada Foundation.
