# The Refugee Appeals Authority has called on asylum seekers with pending appeals outside the Durban refugee reception office in KwaZulu-Natal to urgently report to its offices. The initiative forms part of a programme to clear a backlog of appeals and speed up decisions on asylum applications. The authority warns those who fail to respond may have their appeals decided based on existing documents, resulting in a final ruling on their asylum status.
