KwaZulu-Natal Home Affairs Manager Cyril Mncwabe has expressed his desire to see refugees who have relocated from Durban to the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Gauteng eventually return to their communities. Over 270 individuals who had been living outside a Durban Home Affairs office for four months recently moved to the center by bus.
However, four people changed their minds and chose to stay in Durban. Additionally, a woman could not leave due to her child's illness. Mncwabe emphasizes that anyone with asylum seeker or refugee status can still visit Home Affairs offices. He promotes the concept of reintegration, stating that if a person becomes frustrated with the situation at Lindela, they have the right to choose to leave and live with a family they have found outside KZN. There is no obligation for them to return to KZN.
