Home Affairs has outlined its plans of overhauling its immigration policy in its latest White Paper on International Migration.
This is in an effort to implement an African Union requirement that obliges members to include in their legislation elements of free movement of Africans in the continent.
Various elements will be changed incrementally but the focus today is on the potential scrapping of Visas for African citizens.
Speaking on Morning Live, Home Affairs Director General Mkuseli Apleni says in the White Paper there is a section that deals with admissions and departures were it deals with security issues.
“One of the proposals which are there which will facilitate this process is the establishment of border management authority which was saying that entity will be responsible for managing everything around our border management at a point of entry, at a land, at a maritime and the air so that we are able to guard the issues the borders to make sure we facilitate the movement of the people and goods.”
