Abstract
n contrast to most African countries, refugees and asylum-seekers in South Africa enjoy freedom of movement within the country. In many ways, the circumstances of their arrival are very different from those elsewhere in the continent. Apart from the influx of refugees from Mozambique during the civil war in that country during the 1980s, South Africa has never experienced a mass influx of refugees. Many asylum-seekers are what the UNHCR refers to as 'urban refugees': young men, predominantly from cities and towns in their countries of origin. |
