On 03 July 2024, Dr Leon Schreiber from the Democratic Alliance has been sworn in as the new Minister of Home Affairs. This change comes after South Africa formed a Government of National Unity (GNU) - a first for our country.
Since obtaining his PhD in Political Science, Dr Leon Schreiber racked up an impressive and solid background in policy development as well as public administration and has become known as an individual tackling the bull by the horns when it comes to governmental issues.
Although our new Minister has his work cut out for him, we are truly excited to see what he and his new administration has to offer. If he means anything with the words and we quote 'getting the basics right' as well as 'this department is fundamentally about human dignity, which has been infringed upon by the failures we have seen', we will see a complete shift on intentions of improving efficiency in service delivery as well as better communication with applicants.
We look forward to seeing changes being implemented for the better and whilst we acknowledge that South Africa will likely first take a dip before real recovery in the immigration and civic services sectors can happen, we are still very excited!
