SA Emergency Info

saemergency.info was set up at the beginning of June 2008 as a tool to establish an information network and information source for organisations and individuals engaged in responding to the xenophobia crisis. It was supported by the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation. It was staffed by volunteers. Until the end of June, CSVR were compiling reports daily on each camp at which refugees were staying in the Johannesburg and Ekhuruleni areas. At the end of June, CSVR decided to refocus its efforts on its core mandate and stopped providing reports. Since then, this site is not being regularly updated, and we no longer have the volunteer capacity to maintain the site. We are keeping the site up for those who may wish to search it for records of reports from the period, contacts or other purposes.
