UPDATE: ESTABLISHMENT OF A BORDER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IN SOUTH AFRICA NOVEMBER 2017 CONFIDENTIAL

PURPOSE Provide an overview of border management in South Africa Indicate progress made in establishing a Border Management Authority (BMA) CONFIDENTIAL

GLOBAL AND AFRICAN CONTEXT OF BORDER MANAGEMENT CONFIDENTIAL

HUMANITARIAN & SECURE BORDER MANAGEMENT IS A GLOBAL CHALLENGE “Across the globe, insecure borders enable the trafficking of drugs, weapons, contraband, terrorist funding, materials related to weapons of mass destruction, conflict minerals, wildlife and people.” Ban Ki Moon, 2012 CONFIDENTIAL

ISSUES THAT AFFECT BORDER MANAGEMENT WITHIN AFRICA In Africa, about half of the increase in the migrant stock during 2010-2013 was the result of the movement of migrants from Northern Africa to Eastern Africa Some Border Management Drivers CONFIDENTIAL

BORDER MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA: OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES CONFIDENTIAL

HISTORY AND FAILURE OF FRAGMENTED BORDER MANAGEMENT Since 1994 SA made gallant strides in demilitarising and deracialising the management of the country’s borders by introducing various capabilities to give effect to border management. The consequence of establishing these various organs of state, e.g. immigration control, customs control, border policing etc., resulted in the emergence of a silo approach to border control, border law enforcement and border protection. Various structures were subsequently put in place to attempt to coordinate the mandates and actions of these distinct organs of state in the border environment: Border Affairs Committee Coordinating Committee (1996) National Inter-Departmental Structure (NIDS) (1997) Border Control Operational Coordinating Committee (BCOCC) (2001) Inter-Agency Clearing Forum (IACF) (2010) From at least the mid-2000 various studies and reports have pointed to the failure of these structures to address the systemic and structural problems of coordination model associated with fragmented border management. It is against this background that Cabinet decided on the 26th of June 2013 to establish a Border Management Authority (BMA) in South Africa under an integrated approach. CONFIDENTIAL

TRAJECTORY OF BORDER MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA Pre-1994: Exclusionary & race-based border control Militaristic Sanctions busting Restrictive land Port of Entry designs 1994-2016: Conventional border control Silo-based border management Progressive immigration system Trade facilitation 2017 and Beyond: Balancing security, development & human rights Single Integrated Border Entity Demilitarisation Equitable global trade Greater African & regional integration Apartheid Border Management Coordinated Border Management Integrated Border Management CONFIDENTIAL

WHAT IS BORDER MANAGEMENT? Immigration service Specialised law enforcement / intelligence agencies Immigration Control Custom control and VAT services Customs law enforcement Customs Control Armed forces (army, navy, air force) Border Safeguarding & Surveillance Plant health & phytosanitary inspection service Plant quarantine service Inspection of Plants and Plant Products Cross-border policing & law enforcement Border Policing Veterinary , animal, fish & food inspection service Quarantine service Inspection of Animals, Fish, Animal Products & Foodstuff Public health & sanitary inspection service Human Health Inspection INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE CONFIDENTIAL

PORTS OF ENTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL

OVERVIEW OF SA BORDER ENVIRONMENT About 22 government departments and State agencies active in the border environment Above responsible for cross-border trends: Processing of 36,6m people leaving or entering SA (2012) Of above, 26m were foreign nationals Processing of 4,3m containers crossing Ports of Entry (2012) Managing over 5m export and import transactions annually CONFIDENTIAL

SOUTH AFRICAN PORT OF ENTRY CHALLENGES CONFIDENTIAL

SOME KEY CHALLENGES & RISKS FACING SOUTH AFRICA’S BORDER ENVIRONMENT Limited surveillance capability & coverage over the country’s airspace; many small airstrips close to the borderline Extensive maritime jurisdiction; Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is transponder based; Large volumes of cargo pass through maritime Ports of Entry; illegal fishing; illicit movement of contraband and narcotics Over 39m people move through 72 Ports of Entry annually; Extensive land (4471km) & coastal (3924km) borders; high number of Ports of Entry; 7 Transfrontier Conservation Parks; many informal border crossings; cross-border communities; inadequate border fences & patrol roads; strategic gaps in the borderline; wild-life poaching; illegal migration Air Sea Land CONFIDENTIAL

KEY FEATURES OF FRAGMENTED BORDER MANAGEMENT APPROACH About 8891 state officials from at least 5 organs of state (DHA, SARS, DAFF, SAPS, DoH) are working at the country’s 72 Ports of Entry, With different conditions of service and remuneration; Implementing distinct Departmental mandates in at least 58 pieces of legislation; With competing priorities and deliverables; Having dissimilar tools of trade and equipment; With some systems that are not automated, e.g. DOH and DAFF; Engaging in limited sharing of information; and Lacking a single management, command and control structure. CONFIDENTIAL

KEY FEATURES OF FRAGMENTED BORDER MANAGEMENT APPROACH The consequences of the above fragmentation are: Non-aligned and often poor border control-related service delivery ; Ineffective facilitation of the movement of persons and goods (unnecessary delays and cost to clients) Compromised joint efforts and outcomes resulting from different risk management tools and approaches; The ineffective utilisaton of public resources due to limited information sharing; Inability to enforce a standard approach in dealing with border law enforcement transgressions; A higher volume of Illegal goods entering the country; Corruption and organised crime thriving in a fragmented management environment An increase of undocumented foreign nationals within the country; and Siloism with agencies focusing on their own mandates. CONFIDENTIAL

SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE TO BORDER MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES CONFIDENTIAL

KEY GOVERNMENT DECISIONS 3 June 2009 In the State of the Nation Address: President JG Zuma stated that government “will start the process of setting up a Border Management Agency” in South Africa 26 June 2013 Cabinet resolved: To establish a BMA that would include the ceding of functions from relevant organs of state Implementation steps Department of Home Affairs (DHA) designated as the lead department for the BMA 10 December 2014 Cabinet endorsed: BMA Vision Key priorities for the Transitional Period (2015-2016) BMA should be established by December 2016 23 September 2015 That the BMA Bill, 2015 should be introduced into Parliament CONFIDENTIAL

BMA VISION BMA will be outcomes focused: Balance facilitation of legitimate trade and travel functions, while simultaneously addressing security risks BMA will be established as a single body BMA will assume control of Ports of Entry and borderline functions Establishment of a National Border Risk Management and Targeting Centre BMA will continue current service delivery improvement initiatives BMA will assume operational responsibility for Port of Entry infrastructure and maintenance: BMA will establish its own organisational culture, identity and conditions of service CONFIDENTIAL

INTENDED BORDER MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES More cost effective services Enhance security and management of the border environment Improvement in shared information between organs of state Optimisation of Port of Entry operations and processes to enhance efficiencies through maximum compliance and minimum administrative costs and delays Effective utilisation of financial, human, infrastructure and accommodation resources at a Port of Entry Improved sterility and integrity of Port of Entry and borderline areas Improvement in management, discipline and transparency with single command and control organizational environment Creation of customer service efficiencies through streamlined, integrated operations at the Ports of Entry CONFIDENTIAL

KEY PRINCIPLES OF BMA LEGISLATION BMA Vision Integrated Border Management approach Basket of key functions will be ceded to the BMA BMA is an Implementation Agency Policy mandates will remain with principal organs of state BMA will assume full command and control over Ports of Entry and border law enforcement areas Complementarity between Defence’s Constitutional function of ensuring the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic and the BMA’s law enforcement functions CONFIDENTIAL
