Africa.
Trevor Noah may call South Africa home, but that hasn`t stopped him from being a tourist in his country of birth. The comedian has been in SA since he surprised the audience during Kevin Hart`s Reality Check stand-up show in Pretoria in mid-February. On Wednesday, Noah shared two videos and a photo of a day well spent in Cape Town, including a trip up Table Mountain and lounging on the beach at the Grand Café. `Every time I think I remember how beautiful Cape Town is, I visit again, and I`m constantly left in awe,` Noah wrote in the caption.
Tom Cruise was honoured with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award by the Producers Guild of America on 26 February.
Accepting the award, the actor stood up on stage and said: `My whole life, I wanted to make movies. I wanted to travel the world. I wanted adventure.`
The actor said he`d worked since he was a child, and he`d use the money he made to go to the movies.
`I just got back from filming in South Africa,` he added. `It`s an absolutely stunning country.
`And there is a beautiful philosophy it`s Ubuntu.`
Phindile Mazibuko hasn’t been able to travel, open a bank account or apply for citizenship for more than 10 years after Home Affairs flagged her ID document. Thousands of other people are in the same situation. When Phindile Mazibuko was informed by her bank in 2012 that her identity had been stolen, she had no idea that the incident would still be hanging over her head more than 10 years later. For over a decade, Mazibuko has been fighting for the Department of Home Affairs to unblock her identity document, which was “markedâ€.
OVER the next four months, around 178 000 Zimbabweans will be coming home from South Africa as their special Zimbabwe Exemption Permits expire with President Mnangagwa, while not underestimating the strains of relocation, seeing this large group as a huge resource to accelerate Zimbabwe`s development.
To understand his optimism, we need to think just who these 178 000 are. They range in age from small children to people of retirement age, but most are skilled adults in the midst of their working life who are earning a living legally in South Africa.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has announced that the new online traveller declaration system that grants a travel pass via email is planned to be implemented at all airports in the country.

The Western Cape High Court declared sections of the Refugees Act unconstitutional.
• Western Cape High Court Deputy Judge President Patricia Goliath has declared sections of the Refugees Act unconstitutional.
• According to the act, asylum seekers who do not renew their visas within one month of the date of expiry are considered to have abandoned their asylum applications.

The short answer
It depends. The South African Nursing Council will recognise your qualification if it meets certain criteria.
The whole question
I am an asylum seeker with a nursing diploma from my country of origin. Does my diploma have any value in South Africa? Can I work here? Can I go to university?

In the first place, asylum seekers do have the right to look for work in South Africa. But as to what value your diploma has in South Africa, that is a question that can only be settled by the South African Nursing Council (SANC). SA
