Highlights
| #PostCabinet: VISA related reforms
Cabinet also received a joint report from the Ministers of Home Affairs and Tourism respectively, on a number of visa-related reforms which will make it easier for tourists, business people and academia to come to South Africa.
The reforms include amendments to the regulations applying to foreign minors travelling to South Africa, which will be gazetted in October. Negotiations on visa waivers and relaxation of visa requirements for certain countries are also being finalised. Further details will be announced this week.

For Destination South Africa to flourish it is incumbent on all of us to take interest in the betterment of such offerings and by creating support instruments such as mentorship and coaching, incubation and entrepreneur skills training, and facilitating market access and exposure, and through funding and incentives.
