Refugee University Students Petition for Employment Recognition in South Africa

we are all Africans...we need to help each other.otherwise our continent will have no great change .

Need to treat us equally to other graduates

We are all African, we have to help each other so that we can change this continent

We diserve to be recognised. It is our right to have an opportunity to work as well.

Africa for the Africans. Ilizwe labantu

South Africa should be ashamed of what it does to other Africans, why oppress your fellow Africans while you were welcomed in other African countries during apartheid. Besides south africans go to other countries to work and they are not oppressed

People must given same chances based on their qualifications and experiences regardless of their origins. And employers should be fair when they remunerate employees regardless of their citizenship. It's a culture now in SA, Employers pay less to a Refugee who is even more qualified and skilled while paying more to citizens with same qualification or even less. I strongly believe that fairness must be apply.

South Africa needs skilled people — so why on earth would we turn skilled people away? It's a simple question of pragmatism, if we need more doctors, scientists and business professionals then why would we want to turn away our fellow Africans who would help make South Africa a better place. Secondly, regardless of how they affect South Africa, I think that it is very important to treat people with respect. Allowing these refugees to work and join South African society will go a long way towards respecting their dignity.

I am appalled by the state that some of the affairs in this country have reached. I hope everyone signs and that all of this negativity towards foreigners stop. I dont understand how South Africa can name their own brothers and sisters from Africa as "foreigners", while willingly accepting others who are not from Africa. Only God judges though.

As a refugee myself I fear the far reaching implications of such new amendments.

The world has become a global village, let us follow what Obama did to illegal immigrants in the US by granting them citizenship because some had stayed for more than 30 yrs. Alot of refugees have the required critical skills and can't be given permanent residence while a European immigrant with same skills will land permanent resince
