Question NW4217 to the Minister of Home Affairs
24 November 2022 - NW4217
Steenhuisen, Mr JH to ask the Minister of Home Affairs
Whether he will furnish the Leader of the Opposition with a list of all South Africans who are in possession of a diplomatic passport; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Honourable Member is herewith informed that Diplomatic passports are issued according to the South African Diplomatic Passport Policy and that the Department of Home Affairs is not the custodian of this policy, and similarly not responsible for the application(s) as well as the issuance of this category of passports whatsoever. Hence it is requested that any information relating to Diplomatic Passports should be addressed to the Department of International Relations and Co-operation (DIRCO).
