The South African Minister for Tourism, Ms Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has indicated that South Africa was committed to ensuring the full implementation of the visa waiver arrangements with Ghana to enhance travels between the two countries.
South Africa announced a free entry visa for Ghanaians and citizens of seven other countries in July, 2019 but the waiver is yet to be implemented after almost four months.
Ms Kubayi-Ngubane was optimistic the visa-free entry regime would increase trade, investment and tourism opportunities for the two countries.
Admitting that the implementation of the visa waiver had delayed, Ms Kubayi-Ngubane said efforts were being made to ensure it was operational before the end of the year.
Ms Kubayi-Ngubane who was on a two-day visit to Ghana made the call during an engagement with some Ghanaian and South African trade and travel partners and media practitioners in Accra.
The meeting was organised by the South African Tourism Ministry in collaboration with the South African High Commission in Ghana.
