CAPE TOWN – Home Affairs says it has been given three months in which
to reopen its refugee reception centre in Port Elizabeth.

This comes after its Constitutional Court bid, appealing a Supreme
Court of Appeal (SCA) judgment, failed.

The SCA declared the department`s decision to close the office as
unlawful.

Home Affairs Mayihlome Tshwete said, "We`re currently assessing our
readiness to open it. Like if we have enough operational capital to
make sure that the centre functions properly."
