As we close out 2015 and prepare to enter 2016 let us pause and
reflect on 2015 .
Like the financial markets in South Africa dropping and the Rand
devaluing against major currencies , there is a silver lining in that
as well with South Africa becoming a major destination for people from
abroad wanting to invest , work ,study and retire in South Africa
where the british pound , dollar and euro has much purchasing power
The immigration landscape has been difficult with the department of
home affairs sending mixed signals to the market as to whether South
Africa is open to migrants or not . Against this backdrop we have
thrived by giving good immigration advice and providing creative
solutions to our clients both individuals and corporates . In this
landscape of peoples dreams being fulfilled in SA , we have had more
smiles than frowns with successful visas for our clients
I wish to thank my team for the backup and support that you have
provided our clients and the many positive testimonials we have
received bears evidence of that . Our environment is deadline and
pressure driven and what our clients experience is the seamless
integration of a well oiled team capable of responding to the many
curved balls we get and they never get flustered. We look good
because of your unselfish dedication to go the extra mile .
To you our client`s thank you for your feedback both good and bad
because without it we cannot gauge how well we are doing in your eyes
in terms of what you expect . We have taken to heart your feedback and
looking back i can see by the increase in positive feedback we have
received we have done well but we will not rest but raise the bar in
2016 to give you a better experience with us .
May New Year set out forth new roads to success and provide you with
opportunities to give wings to your unfulfilled desires.
Make your dreams come

true with the rise of another beautiful year.
As 2016 approaches, give a moment of thought to the achievements
as well as the failures of 2015 so that you know what the right path
for you would be.

helped our company to succeed in Business Looking forward for a new

One of the applicants, Phindile Mazibuko, became a victim of identity theft in 2012 when fraudulent transactions occurred, using her personal details.

-The Pretoria High Court found that the department of home affairs had violated constitutional rights without due process.
-Only half of Lawyers for Human Rights` test group has been unblocked, while 385 000 identities remain blocked nationwide.
-LHR appeals extension, urges affected people to seek help now.

Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) are intensifying pressure on the department of home affairs over the national ID-blocking crisis, accusing the state of acting too slowly to unblock qualifying individuals despite a landmark court ruling.

In January last year, the Pretoria High Court found that the department`s practice of blocking IDs without due process was unlawful and unconstitutional. One of the applicants, Phindile Mazibuko, a Swati citizen and South African permanent resident since 1998, fell victim to identity theft in 2012 when fraudsters used her personal details.

A Washington state mother and her 6-year-old son have been released after spending more than three weeks in US immigration detention due to a brief trip to Canada and a small paperwork mistake, her attorney told CNN on Saturday.

Sarah Shaw, a New Zealand citizen who has lived legally in the US since she arrived in 2021, was detained at the Blaine, Washington, Customs and Border Protection checkpoint when returning home after dropping her two oldest children off at the Vancouver airport for a flight to visit their grandparents in New Zealand. Shaw, 33, chose the flight out of Vancouver because it was direct and she didn`t want her children to have to navigate a layover alone, her attorney Minda Thorward, told CNN.

On 22 July 2025, the Gauteng High Court dismissed Sitrusrand Boerdery`s review of the Department of Employment and Labour`s refusal to issue a Working Conditions and Salary Benchmarking Certificate, an essential precondition for obtaining corporate visas under the Immigration Act.

Acting Judge Kekana AJ held that the Department`s decision was lawful, rational and procedurally fair. This judgment illustrates how businesses can - and must - structure their corporate visa applications to meet statutory requirements, and how legal practitioners should prepare robust review challenges when administrative authorities decline to recommend foreign-work permits.

The United States could forfeit an estimated 9.4 billion dollars in visitor spending over the next three years following the introduction of a new 250 dollars `visa integrity fee,` according to industry groups, who warn the policy risks undermining tourism and costing thousands of jobs.
The United States’ decision to introduce a 250 dollars `visa integrity fee` on international visitors has triggered sharp criticism from the global tourism industry, with officials warning that the measure could deter millions of travellers and cost the U.S. economy billions.
The 250dollar `visa integrity fee,` part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed on July 4, 2025, will take effect later this year. According to immigration law firm Envoy Global, it applies to all nonimmigrant visa holders which include students, tourists, temporary workers, and business visitors particularly from African countries. V.6132
