The church of hope - Zimababweans refugees

Clothes of the people living in the church hanged on to dry. In the centre of Johannesburg the Central Methodist Church offer a shelter to a large number, around 3000, of immigrant, most of them from Zimbabwe. Every day around 300 Zimbabweans cross the border entering in South Africa. Despite the precarious conditions the Church became a reference point for the ones that entering in the country have to face new difficulties.
