| More Immigration Officers for Home Affairs |
The Department of Home Affairs will on Friday, 5 December 2008 host the passing out and graduation ceremony for 161, new Immigration Officers at the SA National Academy of Intelligence (SANAI), in Mafikeng.
The officers graduate after successfully completing an intensive three-months training programme that included functional and technical orientation provided by the Department and SANAI.
They were recruited as part of the Department’s efforts to increase the country’s capacity to handle travelers and visitors at ports of entry particularly during major events such as the Confederations Cup next year and the 2010 Soccer World Cup. They will be posted at different ports of entry in the middle of this month.
