WATCH | Refugees kicked out by their own in CT

CAPE TOWN -  A battle for leadership has once again seen one group of refugees expelling another from the tent they’ve been living in since the hard COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.

It also happened in 2019 when the group of over 1,000 refugees occupied the Methodist Church on Green Market Square in Cape Town’s CBD.
