We getting free medication. That is why the government is calling us health tourists. Most of us like she said we are professional people. 

Initially when we came here, we did not think we would fall sick. We came here for greener pastures. Especially since we came from Africa where the political situation has turned bad. So we just thought when we came here we develop ourselves. I am speaking for myself. I didn't want to live in this country. I wanted to do my studies then go back home, but apparently when I was doing my studies, that's when I fell sick. 

When I ended up in this situation where I am trapped. I am not allowed to work… The situation is we are not used to getting food handouts. We are hard working people. We are not used to getting vouchers and staying in the house 24/7. It's actually humiliating… It is so humiliating. Especially when you have been working. And providing for your own family and doing things for yourself. 

Well some of us were breadwinners! Now we have to rely on like £60 in 2 weeks. You don't get cash. It depends on the borough you are in. 

Some boroughs give you cash, some boroughs they don't. And you get food vouchers, with no money to buy… not even… I mean in our culture, we have our traditional meal. And with these vouchers now when I go to Sainsbury's I can't get maize meal. And I need the cash to go and buy maize meal. So all of this… people are really stressed.
