Abstract
Many studies on migrants and refugees have been undertaken in South Africa, with an emphasis
on issues that have a detrimental impact on migrants and refugees in the country, such as
xenophobic events, low wages, food poverty, and social and economic isolation. However, this
study takes a different approach, examining the scope of what could be happening in terms of
solidarity and hospitality for migrants and refugees in religious spaces in urban areas where they
reside. This study used a qualitative research approach using data obtained from primary sources
gathered by the researcher as well as secondary material from journals, libraries, reports, and book
chapters. The case study area was Joe Slovo township in Cape Town. Data were obtained in phases,
with the researcher focusing on semi-structured interviews with 10 migrants and refugees.
