ANC's branches will consider a list of proposals which include the creation of an immigration board, introduction of border patrol officers and decreasing the number of visas and permits offered. | ZintleMahlati
The proposal to tighten the country's citizenship forms part of a bulk of proposals being touted by the party ahead of its policy conference on Thursday. The Gupta family was naturalised with the help of Department of Home Affairs officials in 2018.
Motsoaledi said the country had three acts which governed asylum seekers, citizenship and migration, but often these acts were used against each other in legal processes. He added the gap in policy was evident in labour relations, with employers abusing the gaps created between South Africans and foreign nationals.
Motsoaledi said the asylum system was overwhelmed by economic migrants who sought better economic opportunities in South Africa. "We have looked at the visas and permits. We have more visas and permits than any other country, which must be reviewed. They are confusing. The spousal visa should not be separate from a visitor's visa. Businesses and corporations are the same. We have a view that we need to abolish a number of them."
