Court Dismisses Migrant Healthcare Protection Bid as Operation Dudula Expands

A legal blow for the South African Human Rights Commission after losing its court bid to shield migrants from being denied healthcare. This, as Operation Dudula's anti-migrant campaign intensifies – now targeting access to education too. The Durban High Court ruled against the SAHRC’s attempt to interdict Dudula and its allies from blocking migrants at public clinics. Despite constitutional guarantees, many migrants remain in limbo. Phemelo speaks to SAHRC Chairperson Chris Nissen about what this ruling means for the most vulnerable.
