Why are we not surprised? Fooled by deceit, manipulation, and bullshit. Help these scavengers and they stab you in the back. They were given shelter, food, electricity, hospital treatment, even court lifelines were set up for them. From the beginning of June to September last year, the city had spent more than R120 million on catering for the displaced foreigners and this is how they repay you for having an interest in their safety and future. These parasites have done nothing but complain, always 'unhappy' about what was provided for them. 'Unhappy?' show them 'unhappy', bring on the pangas, chop them up, burn them! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Give them a finger and they take an arm! The UN is getting its just deserts. Go home kwere kwere, fokof kaffir!

City urges court: Kick out xenophobia cheats

Some xenophobia refugees in Cape Town cheated the United Nations of relief funds in 2008, according to an affidavit filed in the Cape High Court.

The affidavit, by city housing director Hans Smit, forms the basis of an application for the eviction of just under 400 people from the Bluewaters safety site on the Cape Flats.

They are the last refugees remaining on city-owned property.

Smit said the UN High Commissioner for Refugees had given financial assistance to people displaced by 2008's wave of xenophobic violence, for relocation or reintegration in the communities they left.

This had been R1 500 for single people, and R3 000 for families of more than one person, paid in instalments.

The payments were made to "DFNs" (displaced foreign nationals) only when they left the city-run safety camps.

"Shortly after the implementation of the scheme it was discovered that it was being abused by some DFNs who, by altering their names, fraudulently procured the payment of allowances to them repeatedly," Smit said.

"In addition, it was discovered that some DFNs were returning to live in the camps even after they had collected their relocation allowances."

When this emerged, administration of the payments was taken away from the staff of the Cape Town Refugee Centre, an NGO, and transferred to the city's camp managers.

The eviction application lists 236 refugees at Bluewaters by name, and asks for an order against them as well as anyone else living there.

City spokesperson Pieter Cronje said the names listed on the order were those of the adults. Children brought the number at the site to 397.

Smit said in his affidavit that the city gave them notice in October 2008 it wanted them off the property, meant to be a holiday camp for members of the public.

About 20 000 displaced people had already been reintegrated into the communities they had been living in, but the Bluewaters group had "steadfastly refused to move".

He said that by refusing to reintegrate or relocate, they were trying to gain an unfair advantage over people on the city's housing waiting list, which had a backlog of 400 000.

Giving them houses would set a bad precedent, he said.

From the beginning of June to September 2008, the city had spent more than R120-million on catering for the displaced foreigners, Smit said.
