Fugitive Kayumba Nyamwasa is expected at a South African High court today for the final arguments in a landmark case challenging the decision by South Africa government to grant him refugee status.
The case was lodged by Refugees and Migrants in South Africa under an umbrela organisation (CoRMSA) with support from the Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC).
CoRMSA had requested South African government to revisit and withdraw their decision to grant Nyamwasa refugee status.
However, This was not done and CoRMSA instituted review proceedings in the High Court.
