Government to use technology to track illegal immigration: Kubayi
Kubayi was addressing the media in Pretoria with anti-illegal protest organisers.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee on migration has announced plans to utilize telecommunications to combat illegal immigration, according to Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi. The government aims to leverage the country's digital infrastructure to ensure visitors do not overstay their visas. Kubayi discussed these measures with media representatives in Pretoria, alongside organizers of anti-illegal immigration protests.
The committee has initiated the modernization of port entry points, specifically border gates, to enable electronic registration of visitors upon arrival, including their visa status and telephone number. In the weeks leading up to their departure, travelers will receive SMS notifications reminding them of their visa expiration dates. Kubayi highlighted the use of RICA sim cards as part of this initiative.
