Displaced foreigners still at Cato Ridge farm
The farming couple that has taken in more than 130 displaced foreigners says they are still working with their lawyers to find alternative accommodation for the refugees.
Andrew and Rae Wartnaby were given until the sixth of this month to move the foreign nationals from their Cato Ridge farm to another location - as the Mkhambathini Municipality says they are in contravention of municipal by-laws.
Andrew says municipal officials came for a site visit last week Monday but has not heard anything since then.
"We don't really know where we stand. We just have to keep looking after the people that are here until we find a suitable solution," he said.
The Municipal Manager's Office has told Newswatch they will meet in the next few weeks to discuss a way forward.
The foreign nationals were left destitute after the Chatsworth camp the had been staying at was taken down by the eThekwini Municipality. They fled their Durban neighbourhoods when xenophobic attacks on migrants broke out in the city earlier this year.
