Recently, photos have been coming in from the Internally Displaced refugees camp where 1000 people, including lots of children and pregnant women who had their own homes but are now forced
to live in tents in a camp dowtown Johannesburg in an area called Germiston which also was center for a lot of Xenophobic attacks.
The camp, housing displaced immigrants from all over Africa including Nigeria, was set up about a week ago next to the Primrose Hill Police station, on Poppy Rd, Germiston to prevent further attacks
Founder of Health PR and Catwalk the World Peace campaigns in South Africa, Matthew Mensah, was there recently to deliver food.
"Next Saturday I'm going again with a group of other volunteers we call 'United 247' .. Especially other West Africans living in the unaffected and plush areas in Joburg should come out and support our fellow Africans who have lost all their belongings due to these Xenophobia attacks. The SA winter has started so its becoming very cold in the evening so blankets, clothes and any food that can be spared are highly welcomed." Matthew said to live in tents in a camp dowtown Johannesburg in an area called Germiston which also was center for a lot of Xenophobic attacks.
