What happened

The department says a disinformation campaign has misrepresented the Constitutional Court's 7 July 2026 judgment on asylum processing.

Why it may matter

  • This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
  • Paused rather than ended, so the position may change again.
  • Useful if you are trying to find an internship or study abroad.
  • Affects students in South Africa.
