WE HAVE A PROBLEM
• Dept. of Home Affairs uses PIVOTAL list to approve
VISA applications from skilled foreigners. This list
confirms that there are not enough South Africans
qualified in the occupations listed herein above.
• Therefore foreigners are allowed to come in and work in
occupations listed herein above.
• Since 2000 SETAs and Universities have produced
enough skilled people in occupations listed herein.
