Refugees in Cape Town who have been living in a COVID-19 shelter since 2019, along with residents of a nearby informal settlement, claim that authorities are trying to divide them. The city is seeking an eviction order to clear the land for social housing, but a local councillor denies the allegation. Many of the refugees, who have been living legally in South Africa for over a decade, are calling on the UNHCR to help them relocate to countries like Canada and Switzerland. "If the UNHCR comes here, it will give us a solution," says Deborah, a refugee hoping to be resettled. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
