"South Africa Needs More Foreigners", Introduces Remote Working Visa - Ramaphosa by MzansiCoolio: 7:03am On Feb 13
Mzansi (South Africa) needs more skilled foreigners!

This is according to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In his weekly newsletter on Monday, 12 February, Ramaphosa emphasised the need for more people with the right skills to succeed in an ever-changing global economy.

“This is so that our economy can be competitive, grow and create employment. As a country, we've invested much in producing these skills, from significantly expanding access to higher education, introducing digital programmes in TVET colleges and a shift to a new pay-for-performance approach to skills development.

"However, it will take some time before we'll be able to produce enough skilled people to enable our country to grow rapidly,” Ramaphosa said.

A review report published last year found that South Africa’s available labour supply “does not match demand from companies which are essentially looking to employ management-level personnel, professionals, engineers, technicians, science and maths educators, as well as IT experts”.

The president pointed out that many of these high-level skills must be sourced internationally, at least in the short-term.

Last week, the Department of Home Affairs published four public comment draft amendments to existing immigration regulations that will significantly boost efforts to attract workers with critical skills to Mzansi.

The draft amendments deal with two visa categories: a remote working visa and the critical skills visa.

“The introduction of a remote working visa responds to the rapidly evolving world of work, where increasing numbers of skilled workers, notably in the tech industry, are attracted by the lifestyle benefits of working from a remote location,” Ramaphosa said.

He added that it also caters to so-called digital nomads, who are able to work virtually from any location in the world.

A remote worker who wants to work in South Africa while employed by a foreign company will be able to receive such a visa.

Ramaphosa said an efficient, agile, responsive visa regime was key to attracting business investment and boosting economic growth.

“International experience shows that employees with critical skills contribute to improved productivity, enhanced innovation, and improving the competitiveness of the firms they work for,” he said.

In October last year, the Department of Home Affairs released guidelines for corporate employers under a ‘Trusted Employer Scheme’, which will make the visa process easier for large investors and streamline application requirements.

Furthermore, the introduction of a 'Trusted Employer Scheme' aims to simplify the visa process for large investors, making South Africa more appealing for industries like business process outsourcing and customer experience. Ramaphosa cited the country's growing attractiveness as an offshore customer experience delivery destination and the government's investment in supporting the sector's expansion.

The president claimed that the guidelines send a clear signal to business that Mzansi is committed to attracting skills that meet the demands of a modern, inclusive and growing economy.

Africans should not apply for this yeye visa, let the lazy xenophobic Zulus work and develop their country on their own, they are lucky the white people there made things easy for them, they should stop disturbing the rest of Africans.



If they want more white people to further develop their country, they can head to Netherlands and apply for more Dutchmen to come to their country and live

I guess the sheer productivity of Nigerians in SA is so encouraging that they now subtly call for the influx of more productive people
Zimbabwe, and Lesotho are so dominantly resided in SA that it should even be unthinkable to call on more people from foreign countries to join but...

Here we are. This is what u get when you have more lazy citizens than the productive ones

South Africans are way too insecure. I find it funny that they have a white population too. Then I compare South Africa to Nigeria my country. What part of Nigeria will do that it's impossible. Nigerians are direct, unlike insecure SA people who don't know what they want.

I'm surprised you have a charged phone since you have 1MW of electricity to share among 250 million people. Grid collapsed for the 150th time in 11 years. Maybe if you didn't sell drugs and scam people in SA you wouldn't be attacked. What serious Nigerian business can you point in SA? Name one 😂😂😂😂😂

Google says 1MW of electricity (150th grid collapse) divided between 250 million people equals 4.E-9. Only Nepa and Generator Republicans understand this sort of mathematics 🇳🇬💩💩💩💩

Do not insult, be mature in this conversation.

From your national stats you've guys have a large number of unemployment or unemployed youths. Why not give this jobs to them.

Although I think I have an answer to that question because a South African told me that your government prefers competence and qualification to familiarity of you get what I mean.

So if that's the case are there no qualified and competent South African.

Because the some SANS believe that the lack of job is caused by foreigners who are taking these jobs.
