Guest : Bulelani Mfaco | asylum seeker at Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland
(MASI) |
Growing up in the apartheid ghetto of Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Bulelani Mfaco
became involved at an early age in protests for adequate housing & access to land with
Abahlali BaseMjondolo, health care in the Khayelitsha Health Forum, and improved
policing in neighbourhood watches.
In 2015, he left his native South Africa to study in Ireland but in 2017 he claimed asylum,
seeking protection from violence and killings of LGBT+ people.
