Immigration Tips For Those Traveling To South Africa With Minors

-
This blog is for those who will be visiting South Africa with minors. Beware! South Africa has very strict laws for minors traveling into South Africa without both parents. A minor is anyone 17 and under. I experienced this first hand in my last trip to South Africa where we traveled ahead of our daughter who is an adult and our son who is a minor.

My daughter was traveling with my son to South Africa via Paris. They boarded the plane in the USA and arrived in Paris. When they were checking in  for their flight to Cape Town, they were told they could not fly into South Africa without written permission from both parents and a birth certificate.

Mind, I'm South African- American (dual citizen) and my kids are too and we are already in South Africa. It took a miracle to let my son in. I documented the experience in my vlog.

So, if your minor child is traveling into AND out of South Africa with or without both parents, you need the following

  • An affidavit  that states that the other parent allows the child to travel into South Africa
  • You need your minor child's unabridged birth certificate with you.

What Teen Pregnancy Taught Me About Life

When I found out I was pregnant at sixteen I was in a hospital and had just woken up from a train accident I had two days before. I could not believe that I was pregnant; I was in total shock. Looking back now I did not spend even an ounce of energy thinking about how bad my situation was and how hard life was about to become for me; I thought about how I could make this work. Having grown up in abject poverty and apartheid era violence, surviving was ingrained in me and the total sum of my experiences had prepared me for the moment. I knew that I had to dig deep in me to find the strength to realize my goals. At sixteen, I was not ready to be a mother and finding out I was pregnant could have derailed my life. Instead of letting the situation take me off my path, I did what I've always done with any situation: I took the lessons I could use and moved forward. Before I found out I was pregnant I was a member of the Student Representative Council in our school, a member of ...

  My Kitchen When it comes to selecting a refrigerator for your home, you have a variety of options to choose from. One of the most common questions homeowners have is whether to go for a standard size fridge or a counter depth fridge.

The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family. They grow foods like corn, beans, vegetables, and grass for their animals which are important source of labor for their food production. Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...
