Critical Skills Work Permit List for South Africa - 2022 - Gazetted
The Home Affairs Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi, has finally Gazetted the long awaited draft list of Critical Skills for South Africa. This took place on the 2nd February 2022.
This new list aims to address skilled labor shortages in various sectors including finance, technology, engineering and medicine. The goal is to help jump-start the economy by filling these critical shortages and therefore stimulating economic growth.
Note on the new list: “Whilst we celebrate this exciting news, we caution that technical guidelines on the qualification and implementation of the list are yet to be published. Once published, potential candidates will know with certainty if they squarely qualify for an occupation under the list or not,” said Seboko."
