Pakistani and Bangladeshi travellers will now require a transit visa to travel to South Africa. R2.4 billion has been set aside to digitise 350 million civic documents dating back to 1895.

These are among recent developments Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi briefed the media about in Pretoria on Thursday.

In June, four Bangladeshi and four Pakistani nationals were arrested at O.R. Tambo International Airport for entering the country illegally. “Today, I wish to announce that we have withdrawn the transit visa exemption and reinstated transit visa requirements for Bangladesh and Pakistani ordinary passport holders from 1 August 2022”, says Dr Motsoaledi.Authorities say steps are being taken to safeguard the integrity of the South African passports.

“On March 2022, in our Krugersdorp Office, the nation saw us apprehending a Pakistani national, arresting him with some South African citizens and corrupt Home Affairs officials. All these people were working together to defraud the South African passport,” says Motsoaledi.Ten thousand youth will be hired to digitise 350 million South African civic paper documents dating back to 1895, at a cost of R2.4 billion.
