The Democratic Alliance will
be calling on Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba to scrap the new visa
regulations.
The new rules, instituted by
the department of home affairs, require an unabridged birth certificate for all
children travelling to, through or out of South Africa as of the 1st
of June.
The new immigration rules are
believed to cost the tourism sector over R6.8 billion in losses and result in
severe job cuts.
DA’s Beverley Schafer said the
unabridged certificates which are coming into affect around the 1st of June 2015 is
really going to hamper what we call family travel into South Africa .
Schafer said we believe this
part of these regulations will hamper the 21 000 jobs that tourism brings to
the Western Cape
and we call for these regulations to be suspended.
