dc.description.abstractThis thesis is concerned with the conceptions of three key and interactive groups - human rights lawyers/advocacy officers, asylum seekers and refugees, and Department of Home Affairs officials - who are in different ways involved with asylum seekers and refugees in Cape Town in the dual contexts of the new rights-based Constitution and the recurrence of political xenophobia. More specifically the thesis investigates their respective conceptions of (human/constitutional/legal) rights, citizenship and political xenophobia. The findings suggest that although the respondents hold the Constitution in high esteem in providing for the rights of everyone they also argue that in practice there is a denial of refugee and asylum seekers' rights under the Constitution, making them effectively rightless.en_ZA
