The backlog in South Africa’s visa system is hindering economic growth and job creation, and President Cyril Ramaphosa must focus on revamping the system to streamline and simplify the process. This could empower companies and industry players to enhance skills development and elevate employment prospects throughout the country. In addition to visa reform, improvements at the Port of Cape Town and duty reductions in the clothing industry are also important to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Overall, decisive action, a clear vision, and a steadfast commitment to future growth are necessary for South Africa to reach its true potential.
