ONE-STOP BORDER POST BILL HEADS TO PARLIAMENT
- 08 December 2023
- Home Affairs
- SA Legal Academy
An explanatory summary of the One-Stop Boarder Post Bill has been gazetted in anticipation of the Bill’s formal introduction in Parliament. This follows the release of a draft Bill in April 2023 for public comment – and Cabinet approval of the revised Bill during a meeting on 29 November 2023.
According to a media statement on the Cabinet meeting, in the context of establishing one-stop border posts the Bill ‘seeks to give effect to … relevant international legal instruments relating to trade facilitation, (and the) movement of persons and goods’.
The explanatory summary also refers to provisions in the Bill for:
establishing ‘common control zones in the territory of an adjoining state’, and
authorising the application of South African laws and those of an adjoining state in the one-stop border post concerned.
Bills are occasionally tabled during a parliamentary recess – possibly with the aim of fast tracking the committee process.
