The Director General of the South African Department of Home Affairs Mkhuseli Apleni has met with his Lesotho counterpart Borenahabokhete Sekonyela in a bid to rally Lesotho nationals living in South African to apply for the Lesotho Special Permits. In their deliberations they mentioned that all Lesotho nationals living in South Africa illegally have until the 31 December 2016 to pay for the Lesotho Special Permit or face deportation. Application centres have opened up at six Lesotho border posts to receive the applications. Applications made this year will be received and the supporting documents can be submitted in the year 2017 by the end of March.
To further explain the significance of this initiative we are joined on the line by:
1. Richard Stoltz Chief Director South African Department of Home Affairs
2. Tumelo Raboletsi Director Lesotho Department of Home Affairs
3. Jiten Vyas Chief Operations Officer VFS Global
