The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is said to be closing its operations in Namibia, and building its support in South Africa. In recent times South Africa has been scripted as one of the most preferred destination for asylum seekers as well as immigrants. We have also witnessed that due to the current scio-economic situation in South Africa , relations between asylum seekers , refugees and poor South Africans have soured. To help us analyse the situation we have:
Ms Clementine Nkweta -Salami, UNHCR Regional Representative for Southern Africa,
Mkhuseli Apleni, Director General of South Africa’s Department of Home Afairs
And
Beatrix Marais, Acting National Executive Director of Child Welfare in SA
