Following the government’s 14-day ultimatum, refugees and other immigrants are bracing themselves for looting and xenophobic violence.

Terrible memories of the xenophobic violence and looting that immigrants in South Africa endured in 2019 quickly come in mind. It is important to comply with international refugees’ law.
