Indian citizens, especially business leaders, who have been complaining for the past few years about long delays in securing visas for South Africa, may have to wait longer as the government had admitted that its full visa waiting list would only be cleared by the end of June 2024. While Indian missions grant tourist and business e-visas to South Africans within a week, there is no reciprocal facility for Indian citizens at South African missions in India. But there is some hope that businesses and academia might be prioritised after a decision, which centralised all visa issues exclusively to the Home Affairs head office in Pretoria, was revoked recently. The current backlog across all visa categories is 56,543. The department envisages to have cleared the current backlog by June 2024 for all categories of visas, Minister of Home Affairs Aaron Motsoaledi said last week in response to a question from an opposition MP. The average response time varies for different visa categories,

Canada's foreign minister said Wednesday that China is an increasingly disruptive, global power and warned businesses against deepening their ties, saying there were geopolitical risks. Foreign Affairs Minister Mlanie Joly made the remarks at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto ahead of her government introducing a Indo-Pacific strategy next month. The China of 1970 is not the China of today. China is an increasingly disruptive, global power, Joly said. It seeks to shape the global environment into one that is more permissive for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours. Joly said Canada has serious concerns about Beijing undermining global security, commerce and peace. Part of that includes credible accounts of human rights abuse and crimes against humanity in the Xinjiang region against the Muslim minority known as the Uyghur. What I would like to say to Canadians doing business in and with China: You need to be clear-eyed. The decisions

With the Supreme Court's order to immediately stop all commercial activities within the 500-meter periphery of the Taj Mahal, the shop owners in this area are uncertain about the future of their businesses. There are about 500 odd restaurants, emporiums, budget hotels, cafes and other business outlets in the area that might be affected by the court order. The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Agra Development Authority (ADA) to prohibit commercial activities within the 500-meter periphery of the Taj Mahal. Talking to PTI, Charchit Gaur, vice chairman of ADA said, "We have begun the survey processing of the businesses and after the completion of the survey we will identify the businesses and act accordingly to the order of the Supreme Court."

At Sophia Sutton-Jones' bakery in North London, the electricity bill has more than tripled since the start of the year. It now costs 5,500 pounds (USD 6,260) a month to power the ovens and keep the lights on at Sourdough Sophia. Where should I magically take 4,000 pounds per month extra that I didn't calculate for? she said. To cope with rising costs, she's had to borrow 50,000 pounds and raise prices twice this year for her loaves, baguettes and pretzels. She doubts that even a massive support package announced this week by the UK government will make much difference to businesses like hers struggling with soaring energy costs. Pubs, restaurants, breweries, retailers and other businesses across the United Kingdom are being pushed to the brink by skyrocketing energy bills that have helped send inflation to a four-decade high and fuel a cost-of-living crisis. Forced to take action by cost increases that threaten to tip the British economy into recession, new Prime Minister Liz Trus
