@oupapilane@Derek_Hanekom@MbalulaFikile Your visual sums up our struggle to operate our vehicles legally in this country. The NPTR legislation was ground breaking in its simplicity to allow permits to be issued within days. The unfortunate reality is permits have now taken years to issue. #cutredtape@MbalulaFikile
I am floored by this ill informed tweet from the minister. Can it possibly be that he does not realize that there has been no board to give the industry permits since the end of 2019? @LindiweSisuluSA please can you assist us with rebuilding tourism in our country?
@oupapilane@Derek_Hanekom As operating licences expire, operators apply for renewals and various amendments which receive attention in line with the prescripts. Delays in processing applications are caused by tourist operators who submit incomplete information resulting in longer processing times.
@MbalulaFikile@oupapilane@Derek_Hanekom Minister we are unable to operate or expand businesses due to there being no operating board since 2019. No permits have been issued during that period.The backlog goes back to early 2019. This is destroying tourism to our country. @TBCZA @southafricantourism @LindiweSisuluSA
A passionate plea from Oupa Pilane of @satsa_sa, calling on Govt to remove the #redtape around tourism vehicle licencing. With Covid regulations repealed, this obstacle should be lifted with immediate effect so we can get back to work! #nptr#tourism@PresidencyZA
@SATSA's Oupa Pilane appeals to @PresidencyZA to remove #redtape around #nptr tourism operator licences which are meant to be issued in 60 days for new operators, and 1 day for already accredited ones. This hasn’t happened for years. Do the right thing Mr. President!
We call on @MbalulaFikile to rescue the collapsing tour operating industry. The failure of permits being issued by the NPTR means that no new businesses can operate. @TheOneEL@Moneyweb@alanwinde https://t.co/Nzyu6CNqkY
Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, is facing accusations of racism for requiring South African customers to prove their citizenship by taking a written test in Afrikaans, a derivative of the Dutch language developed by European colonists. https://t.co/JtaANuPJhL
JUST IN | Low-cost carrier Ryanair will continue requiring South African passengers to take an Afrikaans test to enter the United Kingdom, despite receiving criticism of "backward profiling", the company has said in a statement. | @Fin24
