Date: Mar 11, 2024

South Africa's Home Affairs Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi, says his department has a backlog of just over 41 000 spousal and relative visas.

He was responded to a written Parliamentary question about the backlog of visa applications.

Motsoaledi says the department has been experiencing challenges regarding the legitimacy of relationships claimed in the applications.

The Minister also says the department does not have enough capacity such as immigration officers to handle the workload.
