UK visas to cost R1 000?

“The door is being shut because corrupt Home Affairs officials have been dishing out genuine passports to people smugglers, foreign asylum seekers and - allegedly - suspected terrorists wanting to enter Britain”

The United Kingdom is "likely" to strip SA of its "visa-free" status this year because of rampant corruption in the Department of Home Affairs, the Sunday Times reported. via News24.com

It probably won't happen, they have mentioned nothing of it to us at the Border and Immigration Agency, and if it does then it normally takes a while for it to actually kick in. Normal media hype. It wasnt even in the news, and our new boss, LOVES putting stuff like that out in the media when they catch that amount of people. HE even went on a raid in East london and caught 2 illegals, so he would've been on BBC worldwide, broadcasting what they had done, and who they had caught.... its in his blood

its just media hype that all, until it goes like Zimbabwe or Nigeria then its nothing to fear, the relations are too closeley tied.
