We march to remind the government of South Africa the value of refugees in its land. We do believe that the government of South Africa do consider the refugees. The challenge that refugees now face is in terms of debt, work, and safety. In turn making refugees insecure of their situation located around South Africa.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIn terms of the objectives like to be achieved from today\u2019s march Isaiah says, We\u2019d like to show our concern about the reality of refugees in South Africa and also to address a strong message to the portfolio committee of home affairs to reconsider all the change in terms of home affairs law regarding the life of a refugee in SA. Also to review the labour law quota and touch on how refugees are affected in terms of banks. At the moment they\u2019ve had a delay on the extension of their paper which caused so much damage,\u201d says Isaiah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Isaiah also says, \u201cThe application where people apply for documents but that process has been taking very long in a way where a person becomes illegal and does not possess any legal papers which in turn results in dismissal from work. This is serious as we can see the life and the future of refugees in SA becoming a serious challenge. It\u2019s causing so much damage in the indication of the future of refugees. We call on the department to consider the UBUNTU spirit which is being promoted in South Africa.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MARCH PLANNED IN CAPE TOWN ON WORLD REFUGEE DAY by Radio Islam International\" width=\"1080\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1290861853&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1080\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Neelam Rahim Today is World Refugee Day, and a group of concerned members of Cape Town, together with members of refugee communities, have organised a march to Parliament in the City to commemorate the day.
