Question NW1029 to the Minister of Social Development
08 April 2022 - NW1029
van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Social Development
Whether the directive explaining the 2018 Naki v Director General Home Affairs judgment and the 2021 Centre for Child Law v Director General: Department of Home Affairs and Others judgment has been finalised, as it was reported to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on 2 March 2022 that finalisation was imminent; if not, by what date is it envisaged that the directive will be (a) finalised and (b) sent to local offices; if so, will she furnish Ms L L van der Merwe with a copy of the final directive?
Reply:
As the Honourable Member is aware, the matter in question relates to the Constitutional Court judgment against the Director-General of the Department of Home Affairs. I am therefore unable to respond to the question as it relates to the mandate of another Department.
