South Africa has launched an Electronic Travel Authorisation system. The digital travel permit is linked directly to a person's passport and is designed to make travel faster and more secure. Border Management Authority Commissioner, Michael Masiapato says it will help process legitimate travellers, identify fugitives and tackle irregular migration.... Tune in to #eNCA #DStv403.show more

We want stronger border laws and limit the visas and asylum you giving out, especially for nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Zimbabwe @HomeAffairsSA @TheBMA_SA

I don't know why I have a bad feeling about this, these machines must not be something they relied on, they must be very strict on maintaining the boarders

The machine will be always offline and is serviced by a German or Japanese company

You said the same thing in 2008! Listen, we don’t want them in our country! Sidikiwe!

I was at OR Thambo on 31 July. It was a mess. Of the 6 or so scanners, 2 were open, hordes of people were waiting like animals in the lines. After that, of the 16 passport control booths, 3 were open. More waiting. It was pathetic and a very bad look for our country.

I love how they speaking about this like it’s technology literally created Afew months ago: My question is, wtf were they doing for the past so many dam years? Honestly!! As much as we still not putting cameras on police officers is beyond me? @GovernmentZA likes to run

Please tighten South Africa’s 🇿🇦 immigration controls and visa requirements for 🇬🇳🇳🇬🇨🇬🇨🇩. South Africans deserve a government that prioritises border management, lawful immigration, and the safety and well-being of its citizens. If people enter the country, t

@masiapata what is the point if the borders are still porous? 🤣

As if fugitives would voluntarily present themselves at the border and ORT for scrutiny, how naive are these officials ! Fugitives enter the country through back routes from eSwatini, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Mnxim !

They start to talk like this, as if they have found a system that will curb the influx of the illegal immigrants into the country, but in reality this is the beginning of the crime that will enable the illegal immigrants to freeflow easy into the country..

What about the border jumpers?

We want walls to keep them out and our soldiers to monitor 24/7!!

Except for the fact that there is no border and people come in and out as they please where they cannot be scanned for entry and exit. The govt is still pretending to govern. We are not fooled.

All that was going to a good thing. Millions of foreigners are inside the country. All that money if it started by mass destruction. @BMA

Build the border @masiapata yoh ai

What has March and March,Progressive forces,Dudula,abahambe movement achieved with their protesting ? Eish Malema's minions will never be sane people strue. Thanks to our Patriots ,kuyakhanya phambili.

We can build the high walls, but currently the majority of the people are being allowed through the gates by corrupt BMA people. Let that sink in. We must first stop the corruption. Our main problem in South Africa is the greedy and corrupt officials.. We can put all the best systems in place but as long as there are corrupt people running them....I wanted to say it is useless, but rather I would say it does not help..

Tackle irregular migration how?

It's Useless cause Already millions of illegal immigrants are in the Country! Protesting, Doing as they want,spazas and many more! Instead of talking about Those in the Country your talking about people who are going to Come 🤣🤣🤣

So the whole March and March fiasco was to gain support of the citizenry to implement a digital surveillance state. Next is the digital ID just as the globalists planned. The idiots will cheer as their freedoms disappear at the alter of illegal immigration.

ETAS improves the management of those who arrive through our border gates with proper documents. However, our biggest challenge is those who cross illegally into our country! Our borders must be patrolled!

What about the right of freedom of movement ? Does this not impact that right. Is this even constitutional?

It is so good to see that a State Department actually put technology in an intelligent way to use to resolve real problems. Really hope other departments will follow the examples DHA and SARS set.

It's right there in the wording "authorisation". They'll start to decide who can and can't travel. Say bad things online? Sorry for you. Didn't get the latest mandated gene therapy? No travel.

BORDERS ARE POROUS bafethu yaa neh

And what about those who might have obtained documents illegally? The boader fence🤷🏽‍♂️ ae we need an electrical fence not this 🤦🏾‍♂️

Bla bla.

Kodwa what about those who come in illegally?

We want physical borders where there is only proper gates to come in

This doesn't help south africa,s crisis of infrastructure. This should have been done years ago, or in the next 10 years, definitely not now. Typical anc, looking for brownie points.

It will be off line. They are so pathetic 🙄 How do you trust people who got us here to save us

Guys it's Borders not Boarders. Thank you

eNCA still refuses to say illegal immigration 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂
