Caxton News Service reports that the South African Department of Home Affairs has offered Lesotho nationals living and working in SA an extended grace period until 31 December 2016 to apply for a Lesotho Special Permit (LSP).
The department has also gone the extra mile to make the application process more convenient and easier and applicants now only need to visit the application centre once and not twice, as was the case previously. There will be no further extensions given, and the department has indicated that, following the grace period, Basotho living in South Africa illegally will be deported.
