centre in Cape Town, 2008  Chaos as only 20 people per day were

impact on the debate around the situation of documented and

identified and exposed corruption within the Home Affairs
Department’s Refugee Reception Centres, which helped to pressure
a reform that greatly improved the system and led to a ten-fold
increase in the numbers of asylum seekers being served each day
(in the Western Cape office up from around 20 to 200 each day).
