episode Mixed Reaction To The Latest Supreme Court of Appeal Ruling on Asylum Applications cover

Description

The Constitutional Court this week overturned a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling, by finding that people whose asylum applications have been rejected cannot submit new applications.This means people whose claims are finalised and rejected cannot reapply for refugee status. Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber argued that the current system has allowed asylum seekers to abuse the system. This ruling relates to a case brought forward by two Burundian nationals who argued they had become "sur place" refugees. Sur place refugees are people who became refugees after leaving their country.  Bongiwe Zwane caught up with Dr Dale McKinley of Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia
