Hmmm, I thought a foreigner couldn't get a work permit in SA if a SA citizen could do the job
Two weeks ago I was requested to confirm the work permit of an individual from Zim. The permit was a rubber stamp in their passport. I faxed a copy of the permit to Home Affairs and they confirmed telephonically that it was false. They gave reasons, such as permit number totally out of sequence, unknown initials and signature, etc. I asked for confirmation in writing, so they resent the faxed passport, with writting saying that the permit was issued by their office
Phoned again - they forgot to insert the 'not'
This time they sent a letter confirming the permit was fraudulent on a HA letterhead.
