Dear Colleagues and leadership, Xenophobia is really, xenophobia and it is killing refugees and asylum seekers. Before the 30th June there was xenophobia and after the 30th June Xenophobia has intensified its colors.
On the 14th July 2026 in Durban, Refugees who tried to open their Tents were attacked as you can see on the pictures.

Everyday there is new attack, if it's not on the businesses it is on human beings.
South Africans should know that refugees are humans and they have the right to live.
