Dear Leon,

When are you going to address the now urgent matter of the blanket extension of the temporary concession in respect of foreign nationals with pending visa applications due to the ongoing Home Affairs backlog? Tens of thousands of foreign nationals living in South Africa have been forced to put their lives on hold, at the mercy of a crippled and incompetent Department of Home Affairs. The deadline for the extension has now passed. Please address this today. 90,000 people's lives depend on it, and it is very damaging to international relations and investment.
