Dear Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs,
I trust that you are doing well. I write to you as a Citizen of South Africa. Coming to what covid-19 has done to our country and the whole world. I've been troubled by what we saw on the news and even read about when coming to our Borders. Truck drivers dying, people been delayed for days, lack of communication amongst government officials to passengers. Can the committee have a Special Border Patrol Unit, who will be involved in monitoring, screening and checking of documents by this it will help to ease traffic congestion. Agents will monitor buses, cars, taxis and trucks (Passengers) and if or when every document is verified and there's no detect of coronavirus that vehicle together with its passengers will be given a green sticker and placed at the window to pass the border. I am willing to lead the team it can be joining the Immigration or have a unit to do the work and let our soldiers monitor those who are entering the borders Illegally. What we seeing isn't lack of doing work correctly but we need to have additional Unit to help ease the congestion in our Borders. In the next years all people entering the country will have to be documented and their profile be shared with The SAPS for criminal checks records together with HEALTH if or when something happens to them.. Regards Mandla
