    Congratulations Minister Schreiber. We look forward to seeing the implementation of your vision for Home Affairs. How refreshing to have a Minister who is 35 years old young and ready to serve the beautiful nation of South Africa. Thank you for taking up the call to bring back dignity and efficiency back to Home Affairs. We believe in you and we are praying for you.
  • Lots of Corruption at Home Affairs. People with no qualifications get permanent Residence, Qualified people struggle to get work permits
  • The new minister is a real professional. His answers and ideas are very right on point. May God bless him to fix the country. All must support him to fix South Africa. We like you

    Hopefully they'll deal with the problem with the illegal immigrants buying documentation. That nonsense needs to stop
  • Congratulations Leon. May your skills and knowledge on this particular department be of great service for a better South Africa.
  • ...i don't support DA but all I'm saying is let's give him a chance to prove himself...
  • Waited 13 years for my daughter's full unabridged birth certificate. Please get rid of the abject laziness at HA.

    This man is talking about our real problems we have with the home affairs and that is offline which is always happening. I hope things will change, i like that
  • Before issuing visas, start dealing with illegal immigrants, Secondly we don't need any skilled labour from outside the country, when our unemployment rate continues to rise 😱 why not train the youth to take up those posts, I mean some already have necessary qualifications
  • Very very well said sir I pray you be home affairs Minister for 10yrs plus🇿🇩đŸ€ČđŸŒčđŸŒč

    Minister before you prioritise approval of work visa how about cleaning your house first .Porous borders, fraudulent documents, illegal immigration. South African unemployment rate is high which work visas are you concerned about . Employ your own first and then others .Make sure everyone who is supposed to be in the country is here legally ,let’s see your officials everywhere around our streets then we can say you’re doing your job.Have joint operations with SAPS to clean the streets off illegal immigrants .This department is one that most South Africans have been complaining about. Let’s see if he understands the broader issue here.

    We are watching you Leon👀...lol. Jokes aside, its refreshing to see a young minister get a chance to fix that mess that is Home Affairs. We have needed younger ministers for the longest time and hopefully that youthful energy will be the difference in actually getting the job done. Work for ALL South African's please!
  • This minister is eduacted and he objectively appies logic in his approach. The way he responds to the questions is an evidence that he went school and very smart. Live long minister

    I like seeing this!!! South Africans support south Africans to change our country for the better. Leave out the racism traps that hinder our progress - as long as we follow our constitution, racism will fade away with time. We're all human beings, but most importantly, we're all south Africans! AND BE PROUD OF THAT!
