On 10 November 2023, the Department of Home Affairs, South Africa published “The White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Protection: Towards a Complete Overhaul of Migration Protection”.  This follows after the decision to embark on drafting of the new law which addresses the citizenship, immigration and refugee protection needs in the country. The White Paper has been published in the Government Gazette No. 49661 on 10 November 2023. The public and different stakeholders have been called upon to make comments before the finalisation of the White Paper. This is an important step as a principle that underpins the Constitution and since it ensures that the public take part in the law making process.   Therefore,  the Scalabrini Centre of Human Mobility in Africa (SIHMA) we encourage individuals and stakeholders to comment on the White Paper and submit comments to the Department of Home Affairs by the 19th of January 2024.
