Drop in SA passport power

[Trilkop]

South Africa has dropped in the Henley Passport Index, due to a reduction in the number of visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations which the SA passport has access to.

The so-called "power" of the SA passport fell three spots on the latest index to 54th place, with a visa-free or visa-on-arrival score of 99.

The index is compiled based on data from the International Air Transport Association.

According to the index report, the latest ranking of passport power and global mobility shows that, overall, African states continue to fare poorly. This is despite recent positive changes as more countries on the continent relax their visa policies, according to the report.

The global ranking shows that African passports are either static or dropping significantly.

The Seychelles continues to occupy first place in the sub-Saharan region, moving up to 27th place globally, with a visa-free/visa-on-arrival score of 150. Mauritius remains in 2nd place in the SSA region, with a score of 145, while South Africa retains in 3rd place regionally.

Some of us "European impostors" who are not true Africans only have the green mamba sadly ...

You chaps should be happy you still get issued with Passports. Your neighbours up North don't get them anymore
