Thank you.

SirKennie13:
There is no need for a repeat PCR test here once you have a valid test result of not more 98hrs before your arrival.

Has anyone travelled to South Africa recently?
Did you have to undergo new covid-19 test on arrival and did you have to pay out of pocket or it was free?

gregones:
Congratulations...Were you able to track your application through out the process. If yes, how?
The VFS online tracking option is no longer available
you can also book covid 19 test on VFS website and it is cheaper than at Afriglobal

Yes, I was able to track the application till approval day through the tracking link: https://www.vfsvisaonline.com/Global-PassportTracking/
It seems the site is down! I tried the link just to confirm if it is working but nothing was displayed.

Gattyrhymes:

I didn't get what you meant by 'sop'

I submitted letter of accommodation reservation with my application not hotel. The University has an accommodation reserved for me.

Bossmanly:

Yeah, I'm visiting University of Pretoria for a research work. The University also specifically told me NOT to apply for study/work visa but visitor's visa.

Gbolah21:
Congrats.. pls did you pay for hotel or you submitted normal reservation with your application

I used letter of accommodation reservation sent to me by University of Pretoria.

Shortcut2life:

The two words are obviously different if you consider their meanings.

"King" is not a title for husband but a title signifying leadership (headship) while "queen" is a title for the wife of a king.

In cases, where queens are the leaders, it will be inappropriate to refer to the husband as a king since he's not the leader.

Nope. Accompanying spouse can't work.

Thank you

Are there any avenues for an accompanying spouse on visitor's visa to work in South Africa? What are the available jobs for people on such visa?

The visiting visa is more than 6 months

SirKennie13:
Yes

Thank you for your response. Please send me an email through the posted address or drop yours.

Please, is police clearance certificate compulsory for visitors' visa?

Imagine that, just imagine it?
The way these people talk about billion as if it's a small amount!
'Billion' has actually lost its value in Nigeria; we don't talk about thousands anymore. I guess the next level will be trillion!
The question is what's value of properties/infrastructures in this university that they are spending this huge amount on just fencing?!

The FG has 64 billion naira to spend on fence for just one university but doesn't have half of it to pay workers in the whole of Nigerian federal universities and would rather allow ASUU to embark on strikes!

God, please have mercy on my dear country!

We as Jehovah’s Witnesses adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.

And do you think it's godly to write projects for others let alone selling already written ones? Well, I guess you may not know. Kindly desist from such. It's an academic fraud. Don't aid corruption in whatever guise.

Mrs. Onasanya, who had been married to many husbands before she finally got married to her late husband, did not deny the allegations .....But Mrs. Yemisi denied all..

But Mrs Onasanya is the same person as Mrs Yemisi? Why is someone who was reported not to deny the allegations now denying them?

Jaqenhghar:
Let's be very sincere who destroyed the university system? Is it not the same professors who do nothing , no research, mismanage grants, dont write papers just sit and award grades and come to lectures when they feel like.
The truth is in in Niggeria everyone wants to be paid for doing nothing. Working hard is seen as suffering. Everyone wants to be millionaire overnight na him cause this wahala. You have a system that is overburdened with too many employees who are not showing any tangible results for the pay they take.
The day the government stops being a charity organization then we will see progress

This is just like a father telling his children that he could not provide for their needs because he knows their mates that are getting money from Yahoo yahoo/prostitution!

Of course, we all know some parents do that and I can see you are not different from such parents. So, the FG should reduce lecturers' salary because of the few bag eggs? What a way to reason!

Mr Op, you seriously need to go back to school and pay special attention to proper punctuation. You should also learn to differentiate "is" from "his"!

izzy4shizzy:
this is totally unbelievable, u want the govt not to try its use because of your fragile ego? people are dying and all angles must be tried

this is just pure bad belle..

just because we are called Giant of Africa doesnt mean we own africa...

resist the temptation to play politics with peoples lives

Comments like this often make me conclude that there's no hope for Nigeria!
If you people do not see anything wrong in FG importing this herbal extract, then I guess the future is really bleak.

I assume most of you defending FG are mostly youths. If my assumption is right, I can equally assume you will do the same if you are in the position of Mr President.

Please note that I'm not really against Madagascar extract. What I'm against and which most people who have approved FG decision have failed to realize is lack of trust in our "own". If Madagascar President had behaved like our president and never believed in their own product, would there be anything to order?

It obvious the FG is not really as concerned about the cure as much as how much could be squandered and looted without traces.

This is not a matter of ego but we just need to celebrate ourselves. We need to blow our own trumpets as nobody will do it for us.

OpenYourEyes1:
Will he go around telling people that "the church is closed" or move the actual church to safe place/places?

Your post is biased.
Everything is on lockdown almost globally and not just churches.

Remember the same Paul said those in authority should be obeyed. Your post would have had some merits if only Church are closed down.

Nevertheless, the Church of today has actually lost it (not all though).

Realdeals:
He said all these because of ABUAD, most private universities can easily put all them in place. But, deep down in him, he knew no government-owned university can implement them satisfactorily.

Exactly!
Even when schools are finally reopened, only private schools will be able to do most of these precautionary measures. As it were, no public (university, secondary or primary) school can comply with these. What a sorry state public schools are.

Pastorayojide:
I bless the lord for this miracle, we are pastors based in bayelsa , but we have been holding prayers session for the release of this twin. We prayed seriously and God answered from heaven. We are celebrating their release. The lord will keep protecting you twins in Jesus name. My soul is so happy

God bless you sir.
I'm so excited to hear this!
Someone was asking above how much they paid. Does that really matter?
I heard the news on the radio and immediately I called my wife and we interceded on their behalf.
Thank God for his intervention.
May the Lord's name be praised!

RIP Mr. Man

Pai Grande, who died at the age of 73 after battling prostate cancer for over a year....

So, with all these "productivities", he still died of prostrate cancer? I guess research has found out that being active like this man reduces the incidence of prostrate cancer or is this a case of hyperactivity?

Anyway, RIP to the dead

TopeQs:
I only quote you because you seem to have an issue understanding what I wrote.. so re-read again, this time slowly. when you're done, re-quote me and this time, choose your words wisely, I'm not a kid that you could talk to as you please.

yes, I know a lecturer doing the part-time thin 4 different university, no imagination whatsoever, it's true.

I don't really like all this back and forth on faceless forum. Other commenters had actually adequately replied you and this is just to buttress their comments and this will be my last reply to you on this matter.

My points are just two. One, the issue is about SSANU and not ASUU. You couldn't reason along with their complaints but attacked ASUU, who in its wisdom and foresight had foreseen the current situation. It's no joke when you say someone has a Ph.D. let alone being a professor. Again, there is no hope for any country that rubbishes its body of intellectuals! ASUU's decision is not a one-man show. It's based on rigorous and superior arguments.

How many SSANU members have Master's degree let alone a Ph.D.? No, wonder SSANU doesn't have such foresight and cannot come up with such decisions. I do not in anyway wish to malign SSANU but just like I said earlier, their lack of cooperation with ASUU for whatever reasons has brought them here.

That's also the problem with Nigeria. We usually blindly go against the opponents; not because they are enemies or their pursuits is detrimental to the welfare of the masses but just that they opponents!

Then secondly, you said you knew a lecturer working in four different federal universities! It's interesting to note that you have removed the federal and changed it to just universities which probably are state or private universities!

That's the problem! Just like the FG itself, you like false propaganda. If you were that certain, why did you change it. I can see that you are not a kid but I guess you know I'm not, too

TopeQs:
wow....

just forget, even "senior" staffs don't know how not to show their selfish interest. IPPIS is just a way to curb staffs from collecting salary from more than one avenue, I don't know much about the senior staff but let me talk about the academic staff.

Let me paint a scenario for you, most federal Universities has a part time lecturer that has a full time job in another university, this is not bad but look at the case of some lecturers that go for part time lectures in as much as 3-4 other institutions, this way they are even making 3-4 people jobless because that could have been a job for fresh graduates.

I believe the IPPIS is meant to cover just one more visiting apart from your salary, ASUU will never tell you this but I will, those lecturers that have 2-3 part-time lecturing job will not want IPPIS because it will block the salary of the part-time job.
I can tell you that I know of a lecturer that has 4 part time lecturing job in another federal university, please, how will such a person have time for his own full time job, he will be joggling within states just to meet the other while not being able to put a focus on any of them, I was taught by one of them and he never had our time, then we run marathon class so as to cover up for his absenteeism.

ASUU are just motivated by selfish interest, they will never tell you this, this is not the first time that the government is changing their payment system, and it's not like their salary will be reduced, it is just those with too much of an extra work that will be affect.

the IPPIS was introduced to create transparency, yes, there are irregularities but that can definitely be sorted with time.

it is only the government that can be castigated by changing the way they want to pay their staff, could that happen to a private firm?

ponder on this.

If only you can be a bit more objective in your appraisal of the situation on ground! Firstly, the issue is about SSANU not ASUU and so the question you should ask yourself is: are SSANU members also working in multiple places like academic staff?

If SSANU is regretting its action now, shouldn't that be reason for any reasonable individual to reconsider this IPPIS issue? No, you will not do that. Apparently, you have been looking for an opportunity to rubbish ASUU just like others who are perpetually blinded to the truth!

I can't even sympathize with SSANU because their lack of cooperation with the academic staff brought them to this situation. The point is there is actually no hope for any country that rubbishes its intellectuals.

Now, let's look at your ridiculous claims of knowing of an academic staff working in up to 4 universities. Yes, let's work with your maximum of 4 and let's assume the worst scenario that this staff is a professor (because professor earns the highest salary). Let's also assume his salary is N500K. Mind you, most professors who earn up to this are already old and can barely run around as you claim.

With these four universities, this means your hypothetical and omnipresent lecturer is earning 2 million naira monthly. Actually, the man is earning 1.5M extra since he's entitled to one salary, at least.

Now, what you fail to realize is that almost 70% or more universities where lecturers do part-time jobs are either private or state universities and IPPIS cannot prevent that! I hope the picture is getting very clear to you? You seriously betrayed yourself by claiming your lecturer is working in four different federal universities! That claim is untrue and nothing but just the figment of your own biased imagination to mislead the ignorants like yourself.

This is what you and other members of the populace have not been told. IPPIS cannot and will not stop payment from state and private universities! So, what's the fuss all about? What's the total number of lecturers having multiple salaries from the the almighty FG?

Let's wake up and be realistic! The fight of ASUU is not just for her purse. The FG is not sincere and cannot be trusted. Thank God SSANU is getting to know that albeit somehow late. Once, the FG succeeds in subduing ASUU (God forbids), I'm afraid, the dying federal universities will be finally buried.
