The number of people forced to flee their homes has increased every year over the past decade and stands at the highest level since records began, a trend that can be only reversed by a new, concerted push towards peace-making.

This is according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), also known as the UN Refugee Agency.

According to UNHCR's annual Global Trends report by the end of 2021, those displaced by war, violence, persecution, and human rights abuses stood at 89.3 million, up 8% on a year earlier and well over double the figure of 10 years ago. 

To assist us on this topic we are joined by:  Laura Padoan External Relations Officer for South Africa Multi Country Office at UNHCR, Lindokuhle Mdabe, lawyer at Lawyers for Human Rights and Rod Maxwell the Western Cape and Eastern Cape Chairman of the Forum for Immigration of South Africa.

‘A lot more needs to be done to assist refugees, asylum seekers’

The final state capture report has exposed a series of glaring gaps in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s testimony on the widespread looting of state resources.

It also showed that he lied when quizzed on the work of the high-level review panel on the State Security Agency.

In July 2019, former President Jacob Zuma took the stand at the state capture commission and insisted that he had no prior knowledge of the Guptas’ now infamous 2013 use of the Waterkloof military airbase. Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has recommended that the country’s Constitution be changed to allow for the president to be directly elected.
