Cape Town International Airport immigration boosted with new BMA partnership

# Immigration capacity will nearly double at Cape Town International Airport following a partnership between the Border Management Authority, Western Cape Government, and City of Cape Town. Launched by Home Affairs minister Leon Schreiber, premier Alan Winde, and mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, the initiative adds 48 assistant port control officers. This increases staff from 66 to 114, improving border efficiency, boosting tourism, and enhancing national security while supporting local job creation as well as smoother processing.
