Archive post. Shared by SAMNET on 12 November 2024. The comment deadline of 22 November 2024 has passed and the Bill has since moved through the parliamentary process. Published here as part of SAMNET’s advocacy archive.
The Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs invited stakeholders, interested persons and parties to make written submissions on the Immigration Amendment Bill [B8 – 2024].
Enquiries and written submissions were to be directed to the Committee Secretary, Mr Eddy Mathonsi, at ImmigrationBill@parliament.gov.za, by no later than Friday 22 November 2024 at 16:00.
Calls for comment like this one are the point at which legislation is still movable. They are also, routinely, the point at which almost nobody writes in — which is how provisions that affect people for a decade get settled in a committee room in an afternoon.
Call for comment: Immigration Amendment Bill — Parliamentary Monitoring Group.
