Pretoria High Court orders DHA to allow Mozambican National to enter S.A for medical attention.

High Court Orders Department of Home Affairs to Allow Mozambican National to Enter South Africa for Medical Attention.

The High Court in Pretoria has made a landmark ruling, ordering the Department of Home Affairs to grant immediate entry to Felizardo Jose Zandamela, a 36-year-old Mozambican national. 

This decision comes after Zandamela sustained injuries in Mpumalanga in 2023 and requires medical attention in South Africa.

Zandamela's case highlights the complexities surrounding immigration and healthcare in South Africa. The Department of Home Affairs has been directed to permit Zandamela's entry, ensuring he receives the necessary medical care. This ruling underscores the importance of access to healthcare, regardless of nationality.

The court's decision serves as a precedent, emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding in immigration cases involving medical emergencies. 

As South Africa continues to navigate its immigration policies, cases like Zandamela's remind us of the human impact of these decisions.
