Abstract

The 2015 xenophobic attacks in Durban left thousands of the victims mostly displaced foreign nationals in the shelters arranged by the South African government in accordance with the regulations of the United Nations. Millions were spent by the government in ensuring and providing basic services and necessities and professional assistance by a number of government departments, civil society groups and universities. Despite these concerted coordinated efforts by government, criticisms have been levelled against them on shelter management, operations, living conditions and lack of the inter and intra-stakeholder coordination by the media, scholars and anti-state civil society groups. Meanwhile, an empirical study dissecting the displaced shelters’ operations, stakeholders’ activities, reintegration and repatriation challenges as well as the living conditions in the establishments has not been published. This study intends to interrogate the displaced shelters for the immigrants’ government agencies and civil society operations, success and failure stories as well as the reintegration and repatriation challenges faced by the government officials. This angle has not been researched and unearthed by researchers. This study contributes to the scholarly literature by espousing dimensions of the shelters and dissecting the actions and behaviour of the displaced immigrants who have been considered by a host of stakeholders as the victims in the shelters. Their attitudes and activities are analysed.

摘要

2015年在德班发生的仇外袭击使成千上万的受害者大部分流离失所的外国人留在了南非政府根据联合国规定安排的收容所中。政府花费了数百万美元，以确保并提供一些政府部门，民间社会团体和大学提供的基本服务，必需品和专业援助。尽管政府做出了这些协调一致的共同努力，但人们对他们在住房管理，运营，生活条件以及媒体，学者和反国家公民社会团体之间以及利益相关者之间缺乏协调方面提出了批评。同时，一项实证研究剖析了流离失所者庇护所的运作，利益相关者的活动，关于重返社会和遣返的挑战以及机构的生活条件尚未公布。这项研究的目的是为移民政府机构和民间社会的行动询问流离失所者的庇护所，成功和失败的故事，以及政府官员面临的重返社会和遣返挑战。研究人员尚未研究和发掘此角度。这项研究通过支持庇护所的规模并剖析了被许多利益相关者视为庇护所受害者的流离失所移民的行为和行为，为学术文献做出了贡献。他们的态度和活动进行了分析。这项研究的目的是为移民政府机构和民间社会的行动询问流离失所者的庇护所，成功和失败的故事，以及政府官员面临的重返社会和遣返挑战。研究人员尚未研究和发掘此角度。这项研究通过支持庇护所的规模并剖析了被许多利益相关者视为庇护所受害者的流离失所移民的行为和行为，为学术文献做出了贡献。他们的态度和活动进行了分析。这项研究的目的是为移民政府机构和民间社会的行动询问流离失所者的庇护所，成功和失败的故事，以及政府官员面临的重返社会和遣返挑战。研究人员尚未研究和发掘此角度。这项研究通过支持庇护所的规模并剖析了被许多利益相关者视为庇护所受害者的流离失所移民的行为和行为，为学术文献做出了贡献。他们的态度和活动进行了分析。这项研究通过支持庇护所的规模并剖析了被许多利益相关者视为庇护所受害者的流离失所移民的行为和行为，为学术文献做出了贡献。他们的态度和活动进行了分析。这项研究通过支持庇护所的规模并剖析了被许多利益相关者视为庇护所受害者的流离失所移民的行为和行为，为学术文献做出了贡献。他们的态度和活动进行了分析。
