  • October 16th, 2019

After five years of struggle, mass confusion and untold damage to inbound tourism, it is anticipated that the Unabridged Birth Certificate (UBC) debacle will soon be over.
 
Following a meeting hosted by President Ramaphosa on 7 October with leaders in the Tourism Industry, Minister of Home Affairs, Aaron Motsoaledi confirmed the abolishment of UBC at ports of entry.
 
It is anticipated that the Immigration Advisory Council will meet today after which Home Affairs will make a formal announcement.
