Xenophobia: See camp where over 1,000 displaced people are now staying in SA

Here are some photos from the Internally Displaced refugees camp with 1000 people, including a lot of small children and pregnant women who up until recently had their own homes but now are forced to live in these tents in this camp in 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. See the photos he sent to LIB after the cut...





"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
Anyone that wants to join can contact me or see updates via IG @matthewmensah

Below are other photos of volunteers helping to distribute food at the camp.

Africa of which everyone is crying out ot their loved ones to return back home? which makes one wonder if it's best to be killed by the whiteman who you know hates you than your brother. this is just so SAD and the SA government has kept quiet about this??? The western world hasn't said anything because they are waiting for this Africa who everyone pegs as the Next world power to just implode on itself!!! i weep 4my race!!!

    Benin city, Edo State has shut down MTN office on Sapele Road. I am not surprised that they are the first to protest because they have lots of indigins abroad. Other tribes wey get indigins abroad make una sit down there keep quiet. Na until them kill all una relatives finish b4 una go protest. Kudos to Edo people jare. I too like them. The nor send anybody. Fearless lions!
