For weeks, migrant families camped outside the Department of Home Affairs offices in Durban have endured harsh conditions as they wait for answers about their future.
Among them is Bishop Raphael Bahebwa, who said the group was allegedly pepper sprayed.
Surrounded by makeshift sleeping areas and living in uncertainty, he said the group has not received clarity on what will happen next.
"We are waiting for the South African government to tell us what the next step will be, because they are the ones who brought us here to Home Affairs. Since they left us here, we are still waiting," he said.
The bishop described what he alleged as a frightening incident that unfolded late at night earlier this week, leaving children distressed and families demanding answers.
