Skilled workers face major roadblock entering South Africa

Skilled immigrants looking to enter South Africa to address the country's shortage of skills in a range of sectors face long processing times, and are increasingly being rejected.

Does this apply for Cuban's as well?

...yet here we let Nigerian criminals in willy-nilly.

We have our priorities right in South Africa.

You need jobs for this. Do we have enough?
Why are we not skilling up our own people?

Organized crime is a skill then?

Obviously not (except for the ANC as they have that market well covered here)...but see the parallels I am drawing. It's easier for a Nigerian criminal to come into the country and wreak havoc than it is for an educated person to come in and work.
And why government isn't educating more people (well, we know why...dumb populace means votes) is anyone's guess.

Marisa Jacobs, director at leading immigration firm Xpatweb, said that the Department of Labour (DoL) issues a certificate to employers who can prove that they are unable to find suitably qualified or skilled local candidates for a position, requiring an experienced foreign national to fill the role instead.

This certificate, Jacobs said, is a prescribed requirement for a General Work Visa application issued by the Department of Home Affairs to allow foreign nationals to work in South Africa legally.

“Unfortunately, the DoL certificate is an onerous process and takes months to be considered by the Department of Labour. This makes the process burdensome and impractical for employers, and as such, they turn to the Department of Home Affairs to waive this requirement.”

Viva ANC! Killing South Africa one step at a time

Skilled workers won't risk entering South Africa

I would also like to know why skilled workers would like to come to SA? Other black Africans will be met with xenophobia and for whites they want you, sorry move on.
