Dear Honourable Sir,

As a business professional with a vested interest in the operations of the Department of Home Affairs, I follow its activities closely.

I would be most grateful if you could pose the following question to the Minister of Home Affairs:

For the period from January 2024 to September 2024 (9 months), could the Minister provide a breakdown of the total number of Temporary Visas adjudicated within South Africa? Specifically, could feedback be provided on the type of visa, the number approved, and the number rejected? Additionally, for those that were rejected, how many appeals did the Department receive during this period?
