Ministerial team to address new immigration laws

A team of Ministers from the economic and security clusters will be set up to address the new immigration laws that have raised concern in various sectors. The team will be assembled by Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba.

The new legislation requires families travelling to and from South Africa with children under the age of 18 to produce unabridged birth certificates.

“The team is expected to discuss and engage with the concerns with the aim of finding ways to address the unintended consequences brought about by the implementation of these regulations,” said acting Cabinet spokesperson, Phumla Williams.

The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration will also continue with its work to relook at all the aspects relating to migrants that are in the country. “This work will help provide synergy between migration and our laws,” Williams said.
