South Africa: Home Affairs Failing to Implement Amendments to 'Job-Killing' Visa Regulations

press release

The Democratic Alliance (DA) condemns the failure by the Department of Home Affairs to implement the revised visa regulations after government's much-hyped promise to amend the job-killing visa regulations last month.

Key members of the Tourism Industry players are complaining that the visa changes have not been implemented by the Department. For instance, the unabridged birth certificate requirement is still in place, nearly four weeks after the announcement by Minister in the Presidency, Jeff Radebe, that SA would amend its visa regulations following a drop in numbers of visitors to the country and billions lost in revenue.
