Inter Company Transfer Visa

An intra-company transfer work Visa may be issued by the Department to a foreigner who is employed abroad by a business operating in the Republic in a branch, subsidiary or affiliate relationship and who by reason of his or her employment is required to conduct work in the Republic.

An important factor is that the applicant has to have been employed with the company abroad for a period of not less than 6 months.

The Intra company transfer is not designed to be a long term visa. The idea is to bring in foreign workers employed by the company abroad with a branch or subsidiary branch here in South Africa; they work or conduct training for four years, and then return home.

This Visa does not require the hassle of proving the company could not find suitable applicants and it does not require the hassle of verifying an applicant’s formal qualifications. It is based purely on employment. If you are a company that needs to transfer in foreign employers, please contact us and we will make this go as smoothly as possible.

It is important to note that this category of work Visa cannot be granted for more than four (4) years and this type of Visa is not extendable.

OPINION | Mark Tomlinson: Facing up to the challenge of a world with 8 billion people in it

New24 – 11 July 2022

 

A healthy dose of scepticism is in order when anybody begins to talk about population growth, writes the author.

As the world reaches a world population milestone, we need brave leaders who believe in equality, and who see the coming challenges of food insecurity, climate change and migration as something to fix for the benefit of all of humanity and not simply to ignore, writes Mark Tomlinson.

On 11 July 1987, the world population reached 5 billion. In 2022, another milestone is reached when there will be 8 billion on earth. In the context of 8 billion, 5 billion may not seem particularly large. But this belies the reality of exponential growth. In 1700, the global population was 600 million, in 1803, it was one billion, and as recently as 1960, there were only 2.5 billion people in the world. 

In 1989, to mark the 5 billion milestone, the United Nations established World Population Day which is observed on 11 July annually. The theme for 2022 is 'A world of 8 billion: Towards a resilient future for all - Harnessing opportunities and ensuring rights and choices for all'. This important, but the somewhat benign theme, masks the extent to which debates and theories about 'population' have always been controversial and in equal measure, have attracted a rogue's gallery of racists, eugenicists, catastrophists and also well-meaning demographers. In this piece, I will endeavour to show how a healthy dose of scepticism is in order when anybody begins to talk about population – whether over- (or as I will show) under-population.

One marker of recent attempts to understand and control population growth dates to the 18th century when Thomas Malthus argued that it is inevitable that human populations will outgrow the available resources.

Sticky concept 

In the early 20th century, demography and the burgeoning eugenics movement forged a union to study population growth rates among different social groups. This culminated in the formation in London in 1928 of the International Union for the Scientific Investigation of Population Problems.

One of the consequences of the marriage between eugenics and demography/population studies was the practice of forced sterilization in the first half of the 20th century of thousands of women deemed to be 'undesirable'. This took place largely in the USA and Canada but also in a few Nordic countries. The association between the eugenics movement and the Nazis during World War II put paid to any continuing influence that the eugenics movement may have wished to have on population studies or anything else.

But the 'problem of population growth' is a sticky concept, and the rather crude racist eugenic focus on differing population growth, simply morphed into a more 'acceptable' focus on how to feed the world's growing population. Of course, ensuring there is sufficient food is the most fundamental human question of all. But as always, this important question was hijacked in the service of fear. Perhaps the most widely known book about the 'population problem' is the 1968 bestseller 'The Population Bomb' by Paul Ehrlich. This was the fear book – the one that warned of ongoing catastrophic worldwide famine.  

Ironically, by the time Ehrlich published his book, the problem of how to feed 6 billion people had largely been solved – by two German chemists and the American agronomist Norman Borlaugh. It was the work of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch who found a way to transform nitrogen in the air into fertilizer.

Without fertilizer, feeding 5 billion people, let alone 8 billion people would simply be impossible. But as always, when it comes to population, controversy is baked.

Haber was massively ambitious and obsessed with being accepted as a 'good German', and so turned his chemical genius towards finding a way to help Germany be victorious in World War I. He invented mustard gas and directed the poison gas attacks of the trenches of World War 1. And although he died in 1934, it was his chemistry that led to the development and use of Zyklon B gas during the Holocaust. The other significant contribution to the massive increase of agricultural output was that of Norman Borlaugh, who was the 'father of the Green Revolution'. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. 

As an aside, any act of writing about food and famine is always a political act. It is impossible to talk about the technology that exists to feed everybody without being struck by the terrible reality of a world filled with hunger, malnutrition and famine when, in fact, this need not be the case. As Susan George so eloquently described in her 1976 book 'How the Other Half Dies: The Real Reasons for World Hunger', the problem is never simply about there not being enough food, but that half the world eats most of, and wastes a great deal of food.  

Ageing and declining populations 

The latest iteration of the 'population problem' is recent concerns about ageing and declining populations. Japan and many European countries have low fertility rates and as a consequence, declining population. By some estimates, China will reach peak population by 2030, and experts predict that it will only have 600 million people by the end of the century. Similar trends are likely throughout Europe, East Asia and North America. As always, however, some of the dire projections have not come to fruition with Japan, for example adapting well to its declining population. 

As expected, it is fascinating to see the latest iteration of the 'population commentator'.

In 2021 Elon Musk spoke about his fears about under-population, and the threat he believes it poses to civilization. Of course, the juxtaposition of the word 'civilization' with 'population' in the same sentence should always raise alarm bells.

Given that the world population is expected to reach 10.9 billion by 2100, and that the populations of more than half of Africa's 54 nations are estimated to double or more by 2050, it is difficult not to interpret Musk's statement being more about there being fewer of a 'certain type of person', than people themselves. He is of course talking about white North Americans and Europeans, and in his relentless pursuit of publicity, notoriety, and 'mansplaining' is utterly naïve (perhaps unjustifiably I am giving him the benefit of the doubt here) of how close he is to being the richest spokesperson for the far-right racist great replacement theory.

We need to remember the lesson that Fritz Haber offers us. A man blind with ambition, a German Jew obsessed with acceptance and being a 'good German'. A man who saved billions from famine with his invention of fertilizer, but also the evilest of men whose experimentation with poison gas directly led to the invention of the unspeakable horror in the trenches of World War I and the eventual murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.

How can one of the greatest and one of the worst inventions of the last 100 years, sit within the same man. What might the lesson be for us? My takeaway is a simple one. When politicians, academics, journalists and electric car engineers pontificate about their latest population concerns, make sure you read them with more than a healthy dose of scepticism – if not outright disdain. It is highly likely they come from an ideological and fearful place. 

What we need are brave leaders who believe in equality, and who see the coming challenges of food insecurity, climate change and migration as something to fix for the benefit of all of humanity and not simply to ignore. We absolutely do not need a billionaire intent on dominating the Twittersphere.

EXCLUSIVE | The mystery jet, the former Russian first lady and a blonde VIP

News 24 – 11 July 2022

·         A private jet registered in the name of Svetlana Medvedeva, wife of former prime minister and president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, landed in Cape Town.

·         However, the operators of the Bombardier Global 5000's return flight were denied fuel by suppliers in Cape Town and were diverted to Lanseria.

·         The purpose of the flight remains a secret, but eyewitnesses spotted a contingent of bodyguards and an entourage accompanying a stately older woman with blonde hair.

Mystery surrounds a two-day trip in Cape Town by a business jet registered in the name of Svetlana Medvedeva, the wife of former prime minister and president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev.

News24 can reveal the Bombardier Global 5000 private jet had to divert its return flight from Cape Town International Airport on Wednesday to Lanseria International Airport outside of Johannesburg because its operators were denied fuel by suppliers in Cape Town.

Medvedeva is a Russian economist, but it is not known who was on board the flight operated by Russian air charter company RusJet. The purpose of the flight that arrived in Cape Town on Monday last week and departed again on Wednesday remains a secret.

According to Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa) operations manager Terence Delomaney, “we do not have any scheduled Russian aircraft flying into our airports at the moment. Lanseria is not an Acsa airport. All aircraft will need to ensure arrangements are made in advance for fuelling. There are various suppliers available - some may apply sanctions and others not”.

As a commercial airport, Lanseria buys its own fuel and then sells it forward to all aircraft operators using the airport.

International oil and fuel companies might apply the same sanctions in their countries of origin instituted against Russia, which have affected flights from Russia internationally. The same applies to the European and US airspace, which is closed for Russian air traffic.

According to the website www.airport-data.com, the private jet is registered in Svetlana Medvedeva's name.

RusJet is a Russian VIP charter company based in Moscow. According to eyewitnesses at Lanseria, it was obvious there was a very important person or people on board, judged by the contingent of bodyguards and the entourage accompanying a stately older woman with blonde hair.

They said there were 14 passengers who disembarked at Lanseria: the older woman; what seemed to be a private assistant; another two women who looked after her needs; and four security guards, while the rest were men in business suits who entered the aircraft just behind the older woman when they got back into the plane.

The entourage was rushed into the VIP lounge, with the security guards posted outside while the jet was refuelled.

It was obviously just a fuel stop before the jet departed late Wednesday afternoon again. According to Flightradar24, the jet arrived in Cape Town on Monday via Cairo in Egypt. It followed the same route back, re-routing through Botswana.

According to Africa Intelligence, up to March, the aircraft had been registered in the state of San Marino and is part of Skyline Aviation's fleet.

According to an investigation by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, “Skyline is a charter company based in the small Alpine republic, with strong ties to the Russian elite and currently in liquidation. Its aircraft – including the one seen in South Africa – regularly flew former Russian prime minister and president Dmitry Medvedev's wife, Svetlana Medvedeva. 

"Skyline has been under US sanctions since 2 June due to its links with Russia,” the publication reported.

It's unclear if the passenger(s) were in South Africa for government or private business.

International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor was in Indonesia attending a two-day G20 meeting of foreign ministers.

Vincent Magwenya, spokesperson for the presidency, referred enquiries to Pandor's department, which did not respond.

The Russian embassy in Pretoria said it had no information regarding the flight.

The Moscow Times in 2019 reported that “Medvedeva secretly owns a $50 million Bombardier small business jet that she uses to fly to Europe and Russian cities”. The claims were made by Alexei Navalny, opposition leader who survived a poisoning attempt in 2020 and has been imprisoned since January 2021.

Navalny claimed Medvedeva undertook 11 trips to various destinations from 2015 to 2019 with the jet which was paid for by the Russian government. She was described as a socialite who appeared on various best-dressed lists prior to becoming Russia’s first lady in 2008. She completed her studies as an economist but gave up her career when she married her husband.

Medvedev made headlines last week when he invoked the possibility of nuclear war if the International Criminal Court moves to punish Moscow for alleged crimes in Ukraine.

Medvedev was President Vladimir Putin's stand-in president between 2008 and 2012 and now serves as deputy head of the Security Council of Russia.

The question remains of what urgent business the aircraft’s passengers were in Cape Town for, for them to undertake a long and tedious flight to avoid the European skies Russian aircraft are currently banned from.

Sources in the oil industry told News24 the most logical explanation would be that it involved Russia’s attempts to find buyers for its crude oil, which it currently has in abundance, but can’t sell due to international sanctions.

In recent weeks various news reports speculated that South Africa has massive crude storage tanks at its facility in Saldanha which Russia might eye as a possible storing space for its crude. At least two oil tanker ships from Russia were recently suspected to call at Saldanha, but when their presence came under the spotlight, the ships both headed around South Africa towards the United Arab Emirates.

Another source says there are also discussions underway to source Russian fuel via China or India. With South Africa part of the BRICS government, it can freely trade with both Russia, China and India, especially with the fuel crunch the country is currently facing.
