Speaker, hon Minister, the turnaround strategy for the department cost almost a billion rand over the past three years. One of the consequences of that strategy was that South Africans now have to apply for visas to enter the United Kingdom and with regard to obtaining identity documents or passports, the department is referred to as Pick n Pay or Shoprite. For the right amount of money, you can buy any document.
With regard to implementing tighter protocols regarding the issuing of passports, does the Minister have a timeframe as to when the new security measures will meet international standards, and when South Africans won't have to apply for visas to the UK anymore?
