The United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees representative for Southern Africa Clementine Nkweta-Salami said
having a functioning system is crucial to making sure that those displaced by
violence and conflict are able to receive protection.
She was speaking at an event on
Friday as the world commemorated World Refugee Day.
Nkweta-Salani said UNHCR recognises
the steps the Department of Home Affairs is taking to address the country’s
overwhelmed asylum system.
Nkweta-Salani said asylum seekers
should not be seen as competition but as an incentive and in working can
improve lives socially and economically.
