The Blue Waters Camp accommodating the recent xenophobic attack victims is said to be approaching its last day.
The government has been forcing to close this camp which is known to be the last xenophobic refugee camp in the Western Cape despite legal threats from both the Treatment Action Campaign and Aids Law Project.
The refugees are afraid of been reintegrated back into communities despite rape and intimidations in the camp.
Scott Dunlop from the Treatment Action Campaign says that they are still negotiating with the government about this issue.
“We are still in negotiations with the government and other role players to see if there are another options besides closure” said Dunlop.
TAC raised its concerns if the camp would be closed thus it would leave dozens of people in the streets. He added that they will still provide humanitarian need from various agencies and individuals.
