Foreigners flee Boland xenophobia
17 November 2009, 22:47

About 1 000 foreign nationals have evacuated informal settlements at De Doorns in the Western Cape following a flare-up of xenophobia, police said on Tuesday.

De Doorns station commissioner Superintendent Desmond van der Westhuizen said, however, that he had had no reports of physical violence against foreigners. He said tensions had been building since last week.

Refugee Chaos Grows

Without a co-ordinated intergovernmental strategy to manage the aftermath of the xenophobic violence, the city's safe centres, community halls and churches will continue to battle to accommodate the more than 20,000 displaced foreigners who need shelter, food and medical assistance.

And conditions at the various safe sites and military bases vary from adequate to inhumane, with thousands of Somalian refugees housed at Wynberg's Youngsfield military base complaining that the army is barring them from leaving the site.
