According to Gauteng local government MEC, Qedani Dorothy Mahlangu,
said six sites had been identified across the province which could
house the refugees for three months.
She said government would negotiate with the refugees about the move and no-one would be forced to leave the church.
"We have been able to identify several places within Gauteng that can
house the foreign nationals who are currently residing at the church,"
Mahlangu told SABC news.
"This will therefore enable the church to reduce the overcrowding that
has happened there and priority will be given to those who are sleeping
in the streets."
Mahlangu said that the church’s Bishop Paul Verryn and various
committees would visit the sites to satisfy themselves that the
locations were suitable for people to be living in.
