Call for Aid Appeal for Refugees
The South African Red Cross Society has launched a R2 million appeal for emergency support for xenophobia refugees at De Doorns in the Western Cape.
The organisation is also calling on all South Africans to stand together for humanity.
The appeal comes as negotiators meet representatives of the local community in a bid to resolve tensions.
Thousands of foreign nationals, mostly Zimbabweans, evacuated shack settlements in the area following confrontations with local residents who claim the foreign nationals are robbing them of seasonal jobs on farms in the area.
