DIRCO non existance

Why do we even have a department like this!! For 2 weeks I have been trying to get an appointment for legalization of a document for an overseas country. Phoning them just has no result. Your first call may be answered (1 in 10), but when transferred there is NO success. I even went to the offices as a "walk in" client, only to be told they have a list of 60 clients per day. To get onto this list, you need to be at the security offices by 04H00 in the morning and hope you get a spot.

I have sent emails to the legalisation department, the minister's office (Mr Ronald Mamola) and a Ms J Bowman with absolutely no response!

This really puts South Africa in a bad light with regards to international clients

Covid is over! Get back to work!
