Operation New Broom sweeps clean for Home Affairs
At its heart, Operation New Broom at Home Affairs is a technology-driven initiative, insists Minister Dr. Leon Schreiber. However, whether you consider it an old-school issue, illegal immigrants in South Africa all face the same fate. Arrest, conviction and deportation and prohibition from reentering the country. Launched last week, the technology powering Operation New Broom is biometric data. Through digital ID photos and fingerprints, biometric data will verify any residents' immigration status, thereby eliminating the risk of fraudulent documents (like the old green mamba ID booklet). Operation New Broom is yet another example of Dr. Leon Schreiber making his mark in office at such a young age. Image: File Moreover, the first campaign of Operation New Broom has already taken place in Cape Town's District 6, before becoming a nationwide operation. Operation New Broom saw the arrest of 25 suspects for occupying land meant for victims of forced removals. Home Affairs Minister Dr. Schreiber says Operation New Broom tackles an old-time issue with the latest technology. 'As with everything we do, Operation New Broom is guided by our commitment to the rule of law. It is this commitment that both motivates us to do more to combat illegality, and to uphold due process and legal compliance. The benefits of our commitment to digital transformation are being felt across all areas of Home Affairs' mandate, including through the strides made by the Border Management Authority (BMA),' Schreiber said Operation New Broom will be ramped-up to run countrywide. Image: File Earlier in the year, the BMA unveiled a new range of surveillance technology to enhance its efforts. These included 40 body-worn cameras and a set of state-of-the-art drones to monitor border operations. The cameras allow operators in control rooms to observer live footage from all BMA officers. Furthermore, the minister encouraged anyone living illegally in the country to deport themselves. 'Voluntarily deport yourself now, before we arrest and prohibit you from reentering or obtaining legal status in South Africa in the future,' said Schreiber. There was no word on where Operation New Broom will sweep up next, but illegal immigrants have been warned. They will face no mercy from the authorities … Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

More Chinese, Indian tourists visit South Africa under digital visa scheme
A total of 11,144 tourists from China and India have obtained digital visas to South Africa through the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme (TTOS) since its launch on Feb. 11, South Africa's Department of Home Affairs said on Tuesday. JOHANNESBURG, May 28 (Xinhua) -- A total of 11,144 tourists from China and India have obtained digital visas to South Africa through the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme (TTOS) since its launch on Feb. 11, South Africa's Department of Home Affairs said on Tuesday. The government introduced the TTOS to enable tourists from China and India to easily apply for visas to visit South Africa. In a statement, Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber said the volume of applications has grown consistently from an average of 50 per day in March, to 135 per day in April, and to 210 per day in May. "It is important to note that TTOS is still just a small-scale proof of concept. But after three months of operation, it is already clear that it has been a resounding success," said Schreiber. "This amounts to almost a third of all tourists from China who visited South Africa last year. The success of TTOS demonstrates the enormous growth potential that we can unlock by rolling out a digital-only visa platform -- not only for group travel from these 65 partners, but for every tourist in the world," he said. He said research shows that one new job is created for every 13 tourists who visit the country, suggesting that TTOS has already created 857 new tourism jobs since February with just one reform alone. The TTOS visas ensure that potential tourists from those two target source markets digitally apply for visas within a matter of hours, as opposed to taking days, including visiting the offices of the South African government in those countries, according to Schreiber. "In addition to shortly announcing a second intake of tour operators to further boost the number of group tours attracted through TTOS, we are on track to deliver a world-class Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system this year," the minister said. "This system will completely digitalize and automate all tourism and short-stay visas, enabling every tourist on earth who wants to visit South Africa to instantly and securely obtain a digital visa. Not only will this eliminate fraud and inefficiency, but, as TTOS demonstrates beyond all doubt, it will amount to the single biggest reform to boost job creation in the tourism sector in a decade," he said. South Africa appointed 65 tour operators from China, India and locally to facilitate group visa applications for tourists who intend to visit in groups. China and India are some of the key tourist source markets from which South Africa intends to lure more visitors.
