The province has urged Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi to urgently intervene and “lift the handbrake” on international business travel.

Cape Town -

Finance and Economic Opportunities MEC David Maynier, said: “I have written to the Minister of Home Affairs, to request his urgent intervention to ensure that the appropriate resource is allocated so that business travellers from high-risk countries who apply for permission to travel to South Africa at the email address receive a response within at least 24 hours.

“Our proposed alternative to the risk-based approach for international travel would remove the unfair and unnecessary red tape currently in place to prevent business travellers from visiting South Africa, while also allowing leisure tourists to return unimpeded, bringing the investment we need to rebuild our economy following the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa,” said Maynier.
