eThekwini municipality has called on the public to stop dropping off foreigners at the decomissioned repatriation site at the Durban drive-in.
The city said despite confirming the sites closure on Tuesday, a number of people were dropping off their employees in the hope of the government stepping in to assist.
By Friday a group of about 700 people were gathered on the side of the fenced-off site with their bags of clothes and other possessions.
