Lawyers for Human Rights has claimed that the Department of Home Affairs' decision to close the refugee reception offices in metropolitan areas and opening offices in remote areas along South Africa's borders, will effectively create refugee camps.
LHR and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University's refugee rights centre have challenged the closure of the Port Elizabeth RRO.
Lawyers for Human Rights is running a crowdfunding campaign for stateless children.
Some vulnerable children are required to do DNA tests to get birth certificates, but it costs R1400 - R2100.
Abandoned & orphaned stateless children are required to pay R1350 to apply for a visa allowing them to go to school.
Donate any amount towards a vulnerable child’s test/visa & ensure a better future for them here:
