South Africa sets up more visa centers

South Africa has set up five more visa centers in China in a bid to attract more Chinese tourists, South Africa's Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba said on Wednesday.

"We have now established centers in Wuhan, Xi'an, Shenyang, Hangzhou and Jinan. This brings to nine the total number of visa facilitation centers in China," Gigaba told the Cape Town Press Club.

He says that these new visa-application centers will "help us to cater to the growing demand, while making the application process easier for applicants".
