Does being a refugee give you the same rights as a hard working person who has successfully obtained a visa for the country you're seeking asylum to?

Correct. Ask my grandparents in the UK (who have worked since they were 15 and paid tax and fought in WW2), who get sidelined by hospitals and shafted with crap pension, while asylum seekers get treated many times better

Isn't that just justice, hyperian? Pity those folks' experiences stay out of the spotlight and never gets any attention.

Could be worse. UK citizens in SA have a measly pension capped in the 80's. I think it's even smaller than the state one.

Typical SA govt, they're disgusted by this decision but not the crime that the guy experienced.

The SA government is disgusting so it's no surprise that they're 'disgusted'.

Wonder when SA will ask for more aid from the IMF/WB?
