'When you leave SA with a child, we want consent from both parents'
Home Affairs Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, has confirmed that the government is set to abolish the unabridged birth certificate travel rules.
RELATED: Smart ID makes it difficult to forge marriage, says Motsoaledi
What does this mean for South Africans and why the about-turn?
Bongani Bingwa chats to Motsoaledi to shed more light on the matter.
We took a view after President Cyril Ramaphosa's stimulus package announcement, to find other methods of fighting child trafficking and not use the unabridged certificate method.
Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister - Home Affairs
The issue of a parent leaving South Africa with a child, that rule hasn't changed we still need consent from both parents. When you go out of the country with a child, we want consent from both parents. Both parents must have agreed that this child can leave the country.
Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister - Home Affairs
He says when a tourist visits South Africa and they apply for a visa, there is no need for a birth certificate.
But when you leave South Africa, to go abroad with a child, all we want is consent for the other parent because we don't want children escaping out of the country without the other parent knowing.
Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister - Home Affairs
