Mohammed seeking refuge

We spend a day in the life of a Pakastani refugee seeker and his family in rural South Africa. On this particular day Mohammed travels to the Dept of Home Affairs to see if he can sort out his papers for his application for refugee asylum. So far his requests have been rejected, on the basis that his claim does not qualify him. Mohammed, however, has been taken advantage of by the consultant supplied by Home Affairs who he says wrote an incorrect account of his claim for refugee status. Watch him try again.

Wow, this really moved me. I have always said that people leave their countries when they have no option. Who are we to refuse people who want to work the right to a good and decent life. Does anyone know what happened to this man?

brother i feel your pain and admire your will to survive in the squatter camps as no proudly south african out there even desires to acknowledge its existence. my advice is if u want a better life please the Almighty-u r a muslim start praying your salaah n leave your fate in His hands.a believer understands there is nothing better than tasting the sweetness of imaan.
