Refugees and asylum seekers living outside the Home Affairs reception centre on Moore Road in Durban fear a fresh confrontation ahead of a planned March and March demonstration scheduled for Thursday, September 10. According to IOL, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli said authorities are seeking a lawful solution to the situation. The group has been camped outside the centre, and concerns are growing that the demonstration could lead to tensions or clashes in the area.

South Africa's Department of Home Affairs has relocated refugees who had been living outside its Che Guevara Road offices in Durban to the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Gauteng, according to IOL. The move comes amid heightened tensions in the area surrounding the offices, where the refugees had been camped. The relocation to Lindela, a facility typically used to hold undocumented migrants pending deportation, marks a significant development in the long-running standoff between the refugee community and authorities in the city.

Refugee leaders camped outside the Che Guevara Road Home Affairs office in Durban say they fear another confrontation with the group March and March. According to the leaders, the group attacked them last week and has signalled plans to return for another so-called cleanup operation. The claims, reported by IOL, have heightened tensions among the refugee community, who say they are bracing for a possible fresh clash as the threatened operation looms.

The March and March movement has reiterated its demand for illegal immigrants in South Africa to self-deport by June 30, 2026. This call reflects the group's ongoing stance regarding immigration issues in the country.

As the June 30 anti-immigration protests approach, foreign nationals and community leaders in Cape Town express concerns for their safety, urging for calm amidst rising tensions. Law enforcement agencies are preparing for possible unrest, highlighting the anxiety within the community, according to IOL.

Refugees living outside the Home Affairs office in Durban fear renewed confrontation following the death of Bienvenue Munga, who had been receiving treatment for tuberculosis. According to IOL, his death has renewed concern about the conditions facing refugees camped at the site. The community also fears another clash with the group March and March, as tensions in the area continue to rise.
