A third man has been arrested for the killing of Siphiwe Madondo in May 2008, at the start of a wave of xenophobic attacks throughout the country.
Pretoria - Some foreign nationals at the now dismantled Klerksoord temporary shelter north of Pretoria were refusing to leave the area, Pretoria police said on Wednesday.
Captain Prince Mokhabela said about 300 refugees at the site did not want to leave.
"It seems that they are refusing to leave. They are not violent and no violence has been reported overnight," said Mokhabela.
On whether police would forcefully remove them, he said: "I'm not sure."
The camp was dismantled on Monday.
Gauteng provincial spokesperson Thabo Masebe could not be reached for comment.
