Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will meet the Congress of South African Trade Unions on Tuesday to discuss the development of a new migration policy, a department spokesperson said on Monday.
The meeting with Cosatu's central executive committee followed the approval by Cabinet for the minister to develop the new policy, said spokespersoon Ronnie Mamoepa.
"Critical is the need for the policy to allow government to distinguish between and separate economic migrants from asylum-seekers which until now has created log jams in processing such applications," said Mamoepa.
The meeting with Cosatu leadership is part of a broader consultation process that will see Dlamini-Zuma embark on a roadshow with various stakeholders.

"The aim is to arrive at a consensus about the basic tenets of the new migration policy," said Mamoepa.
Once the process of consultation was completed, the minister would present the proposals to both the cabinet and parliament for approval and implementation. - Sapa
