Getting a one-year lease on a 90-day visa. How?

Real Estate Agents are behind this corruption and most of these agents are whites. They're literally enablers of criminality in South Africa with this thing.

@RamaphiriMpho Property Agents are enablers to this nonsense

Yes, I know Black Americans who are signing one and two-year leases with 90-days visas. Some even gave up their U.S. apartments. They return to the U.S. for a few weeks then go back to their apartments in SA. Everyone is taking advantage of South Africa’s lax immigration laws and driving up rents for South Africans.

That’s why most white people seems to have an issue with us chasing illegal foreigners because they are the enablers of all the corruption happening since they know they will get away without them being noticed..

😭😭😭 And this further worsens the already unaffordable property prices in Cape Town. Our nation's legislative capital will soon be completely foreign-owned, with natives priced out and paving the way for Cape Independence. It would be so easy to stop this nonsense, but the ANC doesn't give a damn. No one should be allowed to lease property to a foreigner for a period longer than their visa allows them to be in the country. Worst of all: IT'S ALREADY WRITTEN IN LAW, BUT GOVERNMENT DOESN'T ENFORCE ITS OWN LAWS. The ANC and DA are a threat to our nation's sovereignty. They have got to go. Abahambe!!!

@AfricanMarvin No one has been looking at these agencies ??? Besides that how can our systems fail to track these 90 days visits 😳😳

@NtombikayiseBa6 Our government knows this information but chose not to do anything about it

This is REALLY where I want to park my energies - the lawlessness of Europeans. This chap must be thanked, doing what our so-called journalists should be doing. The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration needs to level up! @mmkubayi @Prof_Cachalia @Khu_Ntshavheni

But who is monitoring the visa entries and departures? Are we really lax on everything? Other countries take pride in their borders and who access them. We r just open Sesame

The estate agents need to lose their licenses. In the UK, you can’t get a lease for longer than your visa.if the agent somehow manages to find a way around the law, and they are caught out, the agency will be fined/ could lose their license to trade.

This is a common practice in Cape Town and Gauteng, including highly affluent suburbs in Pretoria East, and it is mostly Nigerians. They even have a strategy of bringing other Nigerians every time their 90-day visa expires. Hence, you’d often find one unit occupied by more than 5-6 people.

@geordinhl please come this side chief. We seek answers.

@keletso30933369 @geordinhl @Leon_Schreib Why is this possible? What’s the logical explanation behind this? What’s the law governing this?

Thank you Mayor. Ive been saying that Americans and Europeans are no different to African foreigners. These people also bribe HA officials to stamp their passports to make it seem as though they left SA and came back after 90 days. @Leon_Schreib Minister its time to address this.

the fraudulent activities that are going on in Capetown, will shock even the dead the day they get exposed, & the DA are enablers on all this scams.

@thandoooox5 This guy did what state intelligence should be doing. The number is digital normads in SA is outrageous and it deprives government taxes.

@mr_shimmy Pure lawlessness and criminal behavior

Of course its property agents. They were also a big part of why we were grey listed and why it took so long to get off the grey list.

I more interested in how foreigners are burying property in CPT, and why are average South Africans are not protected in their own country from the sky rocketing prices

@lavidaNOTA Only in a banana republic 🚮🚮

I don’t get it? What’s the problem? The landlord is making money! The tourist for taxes when they buy things! Everyone is eating

We don't have oversight and active monitoring on these spaces. The problem is our regulatory baddies are reactionary and not proactive !

@HermanMashaba da is selling our country... conscious displacement of locals in Caoe Town

We have the weakest law in the continent

Co ask

PPRa must be summoned to force property practitioners follow the law.

Yes, it is legal. However, most landlords for standard 1-year leases will require a South African bank account and proof of local income. Without local employment, this makes traditional long-term leases difficult to qualify for. Lets put it in the correct context: For digital nomads, remote workers, and visitors staying up to 90 days, the best options are flexible, fully furnished rentals. These usually don’t require credit checks and often include utilities: 1. No-Lease, Monthly Stays Companies like HOMii offer month-to-month rentals with no credit checks or fixed 1-year lease. 2. Serviced Corporate Apartments Providers like The Capital Apartments offer fully furnished apartments in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town with extended monthly stay options. 3. Extended Stay Platforms Airbnb and Vrbo offer monthly discounts and work-friendly setups ideal for 90-day stays. Estate Agents (most of them) requires a visa which they then have validated before a longterm lease agreement is signed Another loophole in the system -hence a verification must be done The ethics committee must be tested Then again, I can buy property in SA on a 30/90 day visitors visa Also look at your vehicle rentals- all in the same category Money is King -as long as the debt is being paid The crooks will always find creative ways -as long as the 'dollars' are on the table

@Nay_TKPH Banana republic

@ThaboSchoeman Will we ever rest from the things we need to fix in this country Mara?

No DNA just RSA🇿🇦 snitch snitch 😅 . Akere they think all SAns are stupid.

@CityofCT How is this possible in Cape Town? 🤔 @Leon_Schreib @HomeAffairsSA

There is too much lawlessness in this country because there law is not enforced.

@HermanMashaba What the hell guys😩 what kind of a country are we?💔✋
