Schreiber wants to fix Home Affairs' hostility towards work permit applicants
South Africa must fix a dysfunctional work permit system or sacrifice economic growth, the country’s new Home Affairs minister said, pledging to resolve a crisis that employers say limits investment.
A German-South African business association, which represents companies including Volkswagen AG, has said the chaos threatens operations that support 100 000 jobs. One of the 35-year-old minister’s priorities includes adopting a points system to allow skilled workers to take up employment based on their qualifications, job offers and income level.
He also said repairing"the hostile" relationship between Home Affairs and permit applicants is key to turning the department into"an economic enabler" focused on job creation.
