Cape Town – In what resembled being shunted from pillar to post yesterday, refugees, who were forced from the vicinity of the Central Methodist Mission Church and Greenmarket Square by the City, sought refuge at the St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral in Roeland Street.
The operation followed a February 17 court order, allowing for a seven-day verification process by Home Affairs of all refugees who had been occupying that space since October. “The City is supposed to give us accommodation after the verification process, but now they come chasing us around like dogs. What is the court going to say now? We’ve still no accommodation. They must give us accommodation,” Ngandu said.Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith said the refugees were informed of the provisions of the court order and had known for more than 10 days that the enforcement operation was coming.
“The City of Cape Town is not insensitive to the plight of the refugees, but we can simply not allow the situation to carry on unchecked as it has had a major impact on surrounding businesses, including the traders on Greenmarket Square.”

CapeTimesSA Go demand accommodation in DRC you bloody fools. I hope these human rights organizations realize what happens when you bend backwards for people, better yet why don't they adopt these people since they told them they have rights in a foreign country.
CapeTimesSA We are being fucked here ,the government won't do anything about the arogancy this migrants have in this country!
CapeTimesSA “SUPPOSED TO”😕
CapeTimesSA Solving a problem with another problem
CapeTimesSA They are not refugees. Illegals who crawled through fences at the border to get here. They bring nothing - no qualifications, no money, diseases & think everybody must welcome them with open arms. My message to them: Crawl back where you came from! We don't want you here!
CapeTimesSA And here is the appropriate response to your dishonest Soros-paid false political narrative,IOLNews:
CapeTimesSA That's why you must go back to your countries. You abuse the rights you have here and commit all sorts of crimes. You don't have such rights in your countries hence you come here and do crimes coz our laws are soft to criminals.
CapeTimesSA Not even South Africans are 'given' ANYTHING !! Who do you think you are to be demanding things you never paid for !! GoHome

IN PICTURES | Tears as refugees' illegal structures removed in Cape Town CBDHundreds of law enforcement officers, some wearing masks over their mouths, arrived in Greenmarket Square in Cape Town on March 1 2020 to enforce the court order allowing the city to remove refugees illegally camping outside the Central Methodist Church. It’s about time! If this was in gauteng or any part of the country , the media would call it xenophobia. In reality South Africans run from homelands to homelands under apartheid. We never crossed border to other countries in numbers. Painful as it was, we stay put in our country. What is so difficult to go back instead coursing drama scene, dirty other countries?

WATCH | Officers remove refugees' illegal structures in Cape Town CBDHundreds of law enforcement officers, some wearing masks over their mouths, arrived in Greenmarket Square in Cape Town on Sunday morning to enforce the court order allowing the city to remove refugees illegally camping outside the Central Methodist Church. Its the time when the safety minister declares the use of minimum force and if they retaliate, we resort to maximum force. African presidents should be participating on this mess Remember we didn’t invite these people to be refugees Their responsibility mustn’t become ours Im sorry to seem selfish but thats how they speak to. They don't have this audacity in their own countries, they know they'll be crushed like flies.
