I have been informed that the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure [DPWI] had several engagements with the Department of Home Affairs – Border Management Authority [DHA - BMA] on this subject matter. The latest engagement was on 30 November 2021.
DPWI has provided the necessary input in relation to Section 97 Presidential Proclamation.
The Department of Home Affairs in its correspondence dated 29 September 2021 confirms the same (attached).
The Department is however, engaging with the recently revised letter of intent received from DHA’s [BMA] to jointly redraft Section 97 Presidential Proclamation to now include transfer of custodial functions from DPWI in relation to assets and liabilities within the border law enforcement area and at the ports of entry to the BMA in terms of the BMA Act No.2 (same letter dated 29 September 2021).
