Description

“NOW THEY’RE DOING IT ONLINE?!” Home Affairs is facing fresh scrutiny after moving towards an online process for asylum applications, following a controversial Constitutional Court ruling that has fuelled protests and renewed debate over immigration in South Africa. The court ruling has challenged certain legal barriers that previously prevented people who entered the country unlawfully from having their asylum claims assessed. Now, the move towards online processing is raising further questions among critics about border control, verification and the government's ability to manage the asylum system. Many South Africans are asking whether this change will make the process more efficient or put additional pressure on an already strained immigration system. Others stress that asylum seekers must have access to a fair process and that applications still need to be assessed on their merits. Will online asylum processing improve Home Affairs' administration, or will it deepen public concerns about immigration control? Watch the full breakdown and share your views in the comments. #HomeAffairs #IllegalImmigration #AsylumSeekers #ConstitutionalCourt #SouthAfrica #ImmigrationDebate #The360Experience
