"In the initial implementation of the program launched by the South African Government, five centers have been opened to enroll an initial 100,000 refugees utilizing the BIO-key/Biometric Technologies system known as the South African Refugee and Asylum Seekers Biometric Identification System.

This process includes the issuance of an identification document which helps reduce the refugees' vulnerability to refusal of services and other forms of discrimination." [Biometrics; Immigration..]
