Fighting Camp Closures
In the wake of the xenophobic violence that engulfed Gauteng earlier this year the government set up camps for those foreigners displaced by the chaos. Those camps were set to close on 15 August, but a group of foreign nationals has brought an application for relief to the Constitutional Court to keep the camps open. The court will meet tomorrow to hear that application. What they decide will be crucial to the well being of a vulnerable population in South Africa.
