SA government to set up shelters for the displaced
The South African government decided on 29 May to establish small, temporary shelters for foreigners displaced by the recent xenophobic violence, rather than larger, more permanent refugee camps.
The plan calls for the provinces affected by the violence to be declared disaster areas, in order to release funds in terms of the Disaster Management Act. The Gauteng and Western Cape provincial governments are working quickly to locate appropriate sites for the temporary shelters, according to a statement by the government.
