Its been a particularly tough winter for Francine Nduyimana, originally from Burundi, and her four children, who live in one of dozens of informal structures at a tented refugee camp in Paint City, Bellville. Her youngest son was born at the site.
The family was among hundreds of refugees who protested outside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR offices in Cape Town in October 2019, demanding to be resettled in Europe or Canada.
