Durban Refugees Fear Attacks Before September 30 Deadline

Refugees in Durban are expressing heightened fears of potential attacks as the September 30 deadline established by an anti-immigration movement draws near. Many refugees have reported facing threats and harassment in the lead-up to this date.

In response to these concerns, South African authorities have clarified that private groups do not have the legal authority to deport individuals and must operate within the confines of the law. Additionally, the government has ramped up immigration enforcement efforts in recent months, indicating a more stringent approach to immigration issues.

This situation has created an atmosphere of anxiety among the refugee community, who are apprehensive about their safety and security as the deadline approaches.
