Asylum seekers with pending appeals who have been gathering outside the Durban Refugee Reception Office have a pressing reason to move. The Refugee Appeals Authority has issued an urgent call asking those individuals to report directly to its offices without delay.
The purpose of the visit is straightforward: asylum seekers need to receive and formally acknowledge notices that relate to their appeals. The RAA is making clear that this step requires their immediate, in-person attention.
If you or someone you know is among those waiting outside the Durban office, now is the time to act. Head to the RAA offices and get that paperwork sorted before the situation becomes more complicated.
