Mzansi outraged by the new Irish visa requirements

South Africans have booed Ireland’s decision which will see South African and Batswana passport holders requiring an Irish visa to travel to the country from July 10.

Although many have booed the decision, which was communicated by the Irish Embassy in Pretoria, others said they were accepting the decision as they said there was rampant fraud at the South African Home Affairs Department.

Irish Minister of Justice Helen McEntee, said the Irish visa requirement are put in place to ensure that effective immigration controls are in place.

However, South Africans have since taken to X to bemoan that this decision is not concerned with the influx or South Africans.
