In Epping, in Cape Town, hundreds of illegal immigrants are seen braving the cold conditions, queuing for food.
Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers is on site to assist with feeding and humanitarian aid.
The majority of the people on site are those who were camped outside the Zimbabwean consulate for days trying to get their documents and be repatriated back home.
Gift of the Givers spokesperson, Ali Sablay, told IOL overnight that more illegal immigrants were brought to the site.
