nwauwa:

I’m in same boat. Our old biometrics expires next year so we paid $170 alongside our visa application fees for new biometrics. We got passport request on Monday with a “biometrics validity” letter , stating we must pay a new fees if we want to extend our biometrics. We are wondering, what happens to the $170 we already paid?
I have sent them an email, no reply,

Biometrics valid for 10 years

Visiting ?
Are you looking for travel history or low key vacation? Think Mauritius, Seychelles, UAE, Croatia, Georgia. Stop coming to SA because they don't want foreigners anymore in their country.

No more PR or PGWP.....it doesn't make sense to come to South Africa on a Study Visa. Re-think

I totaly agree with. Please check universities im European countries particularly Italy. Thanks

tannystacey:


If you still want to come to SA for masters or PhD please have a rethink.

Look for other better countries. Biko.. There are many countries around the world that will give you opportunity to build a life and career after your post graduate studies. It is international students that keep contributing massively to the research in many SA unis. The least someone should get after spending 4 years on a phd or 2 years on an intensive masters program in a critical skills area, is a pr or at least a work permit.

Take if from me, the hustle to come to SA to live permanently is overhyped. Things have really changed.

Badlimo:

mechoau:


Can I private message you sir ?

Yes

chemashie:

Then there's no point applying for MSc if you don't have the above. I don't see any problem designing your own research proposal or making 8 in SAQA or using internet to search and communicate with your proposed supervisor.

. Okay.

iamkingrobert:



Thanks for the advise, Now about that Critical Skill Visa, I want to ask something. Now i have a company which is incorporated both in NG and SA, I'm majority share holder as it is my company, do you think i can use it as base for my visa application??

Yes you can use your company if your scope is within the scare skills job

duketiana:



Pls read past posts, the issue of SAQA was discussed. Look for schools by yourself, MSc is not difficult to find. Know the province you would like to reside and search for schools there.

Brother who told you that MSc not difficult to find. You need 8 in your SAQA, research proposal and a supervisor for your addmission.

JordanMichael:

SA is a beautiful place no doubt but when you think about the XENOPHOBIC attack there you'll know SA is a no go area.

Brother I did not regret coming to SA. If it study you can come to SA.

mechoau:
Hello guys, pls I need someone who reside in Lagos that can assist me in processing my admission into any school in South Africa �� and also a supporting hand on how to complete my saqa processing. I have Bsc mechanical engineering from OAU and I have my transcript with me. This help won’t be for free

Hello, what do you want to know? I had my MSc (Mechanical engineering) in 2018. Presently i am doing my PhD with free tuition fee. After your SAQA you need a research supervisor and research proposal for your MSc addmission

jansonn:

Ok... I don't really know much sir, it's seems you're a practising doctor in South Africa??

No but I have a lot of doctor friends here. Then I understand how things work in SA. There is exam that you will do first before you will practice. Secondly, you can not do the exam with 3 months visa. Thanks

Please brother don't come to SOUTH AFRICA with 3 months visa. Do your research very well before coming to SA. You can not practice in SA without registering with SA medical council.

We have different time zone because we are in different longitude and latitude.

We have different time zone because we are in different longitudes and latitudes.

Goodnews for Yoruba Nation

By Dapo Akinrefon

The Yoruba nation has been accepted as the 45th member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation, UNPO, Banji Akintoye has said.

President of the Yoruba World Congress, YWC, Banji Akintoye, said this on Tuesday, noting that the latest development represented a very important step in the collective quest of Yoruba people to achieve the goal of dignity and self-determination.

UNPO, formed on February 11, 1991 in The Hague, Netherlands, is an international membership-based organisation established to empower the voices of unrepresented and marginalised peoples worldwide and to protect their fundamental human rights.

Members comprise indigenous peoples, minorities, unrecognised peoples or peoples of occupied territories.

Akintoye, in a statement, noted that the Yoruba-speaking nation membership was contained in a letter addressed to him through the YWC Coordinator for Europe by her Secretary-General, Ralph Bunche.

He said UNPO membership affords the Yoruba nation an opportunity to participate in advocacy training, worldwide cultural festivals, election monitoring/observation, and sports activities, among the unrepresented nations.

Akintoye said: “Some former members, such as Armenia, East Timor, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Palau have gained full independence and have joined the United Nations, UN, as full members.

“The peoples represented within the UNPO membership are all united by one shared condition: they are denied their equitable level of representation and voice in the institutions of the countries to which they currently belong and in international governance.

“As a consequence, their opportunity to participate on the national or international stage is limited and unfair, and they struggle against difficulties in their effort to realise their rights to civil and political participation and to control their own economic, social and cultural development.

“In many cases, they live under pressure of the worst forms of violence and repression, such as is being perpetrated by armed herdsmen and militias, as well as by terrorist Boko Haram, against many peoples of Nigeria, including our Yoruba nation.

“This violence and repression are being adroitly and surreptitiously supported by the government of Nigeria.

“In some cases, members of UNPO need serious help because they live in countries and under governments that actively resist their progress and destroy their achievements, as our Yoruba nation lives in Nigeria.

“The UNPO is able to address issues that often remain hidden because UNPO has the freedom to raise issues that others cannot raise due to political or funding constraints. Today, UNPO has more than 40 member-nations.”
