Thousands seeking refuge near Cape of Good Hope
May 28 2008, AP

One of South Africa’s most famous beauty spots is now a scene of disgrace. Just out of sight of the tour buses that flock to the Cape of Good Hope, more than 2,000 foreigners are crammed into a makeshift refugee camp on the shores of the Atlantic, seeking protection from xenophobic attacks that have killed more than 50 people across the country and devastated South Africa’s image as a haven of stability.
