Immigration Amendment Bill passes NCOP hurdle; now awaits Ramaphosa's signiture
Cape Times
|December 18, 2025
THE Immigration Amendment Bill now awaits President Cyril Ramaphosa's signature having been unanimously passed by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) yesterday.
The Bill was introduced following a 2017 Constitutional Court ruling mandating Parliament to amend the Immigration Act within 24 months due to its unconstitutional elements.
The court declared the Act unconstitutional as it did not require an automatic judicial review of a detention before 30 calendar days expired.
It had also noted that the Act did not require that a detainee be informed of his or her rights, in particular, the right to legal representation by a lawyer of their own choice and be assigned one at State expense if substantial injustice would otherwise result.
