On 12 December 2025, The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) released the Draft Revised White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Protection, which is intended to be a step towards a complete overhaul on South Africa’s migration system. The DHA has invited public comment on the paper, with the deadline for comments extended until 15 February 2026 (See a copy of the call for comment and the extension here: https://shorturl.at/JEg1j
The proposed policy framework has significant implications for communities across the country, including citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, migrant workers, and other vulnerable groups.
It is crucial that communities and civil society organisations understand the policy’s impact and are empowered to contribute meaningful submissions during the consultation process.
In essence, the more submissions the Department receives by people that are either directly or indirectly impacted by this policy reform, the better it would understand people’s concerns and recommendations.
