We need serious amendments to the immigration laws of our country mnr Leon 💯
Immigration Laws are amended almost every 2 years and this hasn't helped
Illigal foreigne
Let employees reapply for their jobs. Terrible service is also a huge monster of a problem
Guys, "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown". We need to calm down and give him time to implement the things he wants to improve on.
Its not magic. It doesn't matter if Leon says he can fix it in a day or 2, it will take sometime because it took years for the department to gradually fall apart. Let's pray for him and hope for the best...
Undocumented migration in South Africa is a multifaceted issue that has significant social, economic, and political implications. Here are some of the primary problems associated with undocumented migrants in the country:
Social Issues
Public Services Strain: Undocumented migrants often utilize public health, education, and social services, which can strain these systems, particularly in areas already under-resourced.
Community Tensions: The presence of undocumented migrants can lead to tensions between local communities and migrants, sometimes resulting in xenophobic attacks and violence.
Integration Challenges: Undocumented migrants face difficulties in integrating into society, leading to social exclusion and marginalization.
Minister Schreiber's focus on visas is welcome but concerning. Home Affairs is the HR department of the country. I'd advise him to work with NIA, SANDF, International Affairs and Science and Technology. His role is to draw up a plan and delegate. SA is overwhelmed with internal issues, Visas shouldn't be top of the priority list
All home affairs should be solar powered or have back up generators, someone mentioned star link internet for connectivity issues
The kak attitude of the personnel in home affairs absolutely sucks...they make up obstacles to applicants required paperwork
Absolutely they don't know sometimes what the solution is they need to go for proper training to make things go faster.
We need starlink to make our network much more reliable
With Telkom, MTN and Vodacom at the helm of telecoms monopoly? it won't happen. We have been complaining about fewer companies controlling industries it and it fell on deaf ears for a reason. The same people who benefitted during apartheid are still controlling the economy to dat and are holding back this country we need a free market system.
It's not his portfolio
No we don't. And satellite internet will always be crap because there's a massive delay due to the distance. If you want to go suck off elon, that is your own concern.
@@isoboy1000 Starlink won't beam internet to SA because the Comrades want 30% in their back pockets
I have been waiting 7 months for my extension. I need to go to my country, but I can't leave this country. Please do something.
Good luck Leon. You are going to do a great job.
We waited 7 years for my husbands permanent residence!!! We have been waiting 2 years for his ID book! I had to take 4 days off work just renew my passport. These people have abused us so much that I actually hate them passionately.
They ruined my life
My dad medical visa from Congo until today 7 months no answer even after so many appeal the embassy keeps on saying that they are waiting for South Africa to respond... ANC destroyed Home affairs
My father relinquished his SA citizenship to speed up naturalization overseas. When he came back to SA he just went to HA and said he lost his id book. Citizenship restored 😂😂😂
Now, for more than 10 years, my brother-in-law from Durban could not vote because his ID is blocked, as another duplicate ID in Pretoria exists! After repeated requests through the local HA office and directly to Pretoria HA, he has not been successful! A total disgrace. Corruption is the source of the problem.
@@roynewton-barker8910 That's disgusting. It's a violation of his constitution rights
A small thing that might help a small, but real amount might be to take the approach the UK took to South Africa, as far as visas go, after 1994, viz. to "assume we'd do the right thing", and liberalize access to the UK. Our own Home Affairs destroyed that, unilaterally (by being dangerously unreliable), but from the point of view of this suggestion, it wasn't an irreversible miscalculation on the UK's part. They quickly realized that we couldn't be trusted, introduced the usual restrictions, and in quite a short time we went back to the old ways.
While that policy lasted, though (it was five years, maybe?) the South African part of UK arrivals and departures were simplified, and there was probably at least some growth in trade, and mutually beneficial connections of all kinds, to counterbalance the harm from the questionable people who started to come in on questionable passports bought here. I'm guessing that overall, the UK gained by cutting red tape applying to us for at least a few years.
So it might be an idea to try a (reversible) measure of the same kind with a "low risk country" we have some connections to already. How about New Zealand, for instance? They have such a small population that they couldn't flood us if they wanted to, and appear to me to be pretty well governed, so not a big threat when it comes to having the wrong kind of Russian come here, etc.
So the idea (in its most timid form) would be: 1. This year, without haggling for any tit for tat, quietly open up to New Zealand - or New Zealand tourists, only, if that idea is too frightening.
2. When that succeeds (in cutting our own red tape down, and in improving the flow of beneficial exchanges), maybe try adding Australia to the list. And so on.
A bolder version would be to just open up to the EU, and the G7. And if they let us down the way we let the UK down all those years ago, we just go back to how things were.
No tit for tat. We don't have enough tit to offer for the tat, right now.
No, that's not going to change much, but it could change something tangible. And it's a safe idea even if it's a bad one. Just bail out if it turns out badly.
When is home afairs going to sort out their online debarcle?
Again proper training on how to use computers
and problem fixing in all areas.
Please Minister your job is to implement the law and constitution..First thing to enforce the law and get illegal foreigners out of the country. Minister Aaron laid the ground work. DA policy matters is not your job to change. Implement the law and you report to te President.Not DA.I think you miss the point
Aaron made a mess of the department He was so obsessed about foreigners that He missed the serious problems into the department and made the situation even worst lol 🤣🤣
@@persianking8822 you guys have no idea how illegal foreigners with criminal records mess up our country. It is free for all
@@persianking8822illegal foreigners is a problem they bring crime muti murders drugdealers business kidnapping human trafficking car hijacking syndicate we must act now before its to late
That minister was doing his job you need to go home and fix your falling country @@persianking8822
Exactly, let's fix the very same place responsible to legalize them, and If they can't be legalized, we get them out. As of today, we don't know exactly who to deport, which Immigration Act did they violet, where do they live, what do they do...etc. We can't just go back to apartheid days and round up everyone who looks and speaks wrong, that's harassment, we might as well arrest everyone who looks like a thief.
My girlfriend from Colombia can apply for a police clearance for free/cheaply online and have it issued via pdf within 5-10 mins. I have to pay R6000-8000 to pay a private business just to get a police clearance certificate on time within 1-2 weeks. That system should be completely online and on a secure database and also make APIs available so that private businesses can also create solutions by having access to the data under a contract
Some of us we don't even want to renew our IDs
Wishing him the best as he embarks on this new and challenging portfolio.
Call center line always says "Network is congested". If you are lucky enough, you can get in touch with them
Can this be fixed?
A complete performance and service delivery report needs to be sent to Leon every quarter and all home affairs should have cctv video feed to monitor incidents at each branch
🙏😊
Watch out for sabotage on this matter!!
Policy and Governance: The presence of undocumented migrants poses challenges for policymakers and government authorities in terms of border control, immigration policies, and enforcement.
Public Perception and Xenophobia: Political discourse around undocumented migrants often fuels xenophobia and nationalist sentiments, influencing public opinion and leading to discriminatory practices and policies.
International Relations: Managing undocumented migration requires cooperation with neighboring countries, impacting diplomatic relations and regional stability.
Crime and Law Enforcement: There are concerns about undocumented migrants being involved in criminal activities, either as perpetrators or victims. However, data on this is often contested and politically charged.
100% right, I had that expression
Finally light at the end of the tunnel! Now I can get a visa in no time 💯🎊🥳
Gijima is in trouble, they are the ones who develop most systems for government
Employment and Labor Market Impact: Undocumented migrants often work in informal sectors for lower wages, which can drive down wages and working conditions for locals. This also leads to exploitation and abuse of migrants by employers.
Economic Burden: While migrants can contribute to the economy, the lack of legal status means they often work in low-paid jobs and are unable to contribute to tax revenues effectively.
Remittances: A significant portion of earnings by undocumented migrants is sent back to their home countries as remittances, reducing the money circulating within the local

Let's hope the Zimbabwean can do this job better than the previous incumbent
Ah someone believing fake news. You can literally see the wikipedia edits that are not supported by proof, it's so easy to verify that he is indeed South African. But if you get your news from headlines, there's no help
