 SA Migration
International was created out of the need for a
specialist organization to assist people wishing to immigrate,
volunteer, work, bring family, study or open businesses in South
Africa.
While it is clearing the backlog in birth registrations created by
Level 5, the Department of Home Affairs is considering allowing the
registration of marriages when the country moves to Level 3.
This after the department addressed a portfolio committee on Tuesday.
All around South Africa, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who
have mostly been left out of the government`s official response to
the food crisis are going hungry.
For Alice Munyanyiwa, a cup of tea has become a luxury she can barely
afford.
Desperate citizens stranded in South Africa have taken to jumping the
Lesotho border risking their lives to get home.
Reports from Lesotho claim that hundreds of Basotho are resorting to
perilous and illegal border crossings having been stranded in locked
down South Africa.
THE country received 527 citizens returning from South Africa
yesterday through the Beitbridge Border Post bringing the number of
returnees from various countries to 3 134 since the country and other
regional countries initiated national lockdowns to curb the spread of
Covid-19.
The government is working on a scheme to develop six, one-stop
border posts with its neighbours to ensure greater efficiency in
the movement of goods and people.
Priority will be given to the Beitbridge border post connecting SA
and Zimbabwe, which is the gateway for most of the land-based
trade with the rest of Africa. This border post, the biggest, has
long been plagued by lengthy delays, some lasting up to two weeks,
which are extremely costly for business.
The words used to describe migration can be confusing, but
definitions are important when we discuss the movements of people.
We look at the most common terms.
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many countries, and the movement
of people, to a near standstill. As the world looks to restart,
migration will again be at the fore, with South Africa likely to
be a key part of this. SA
