Key priorities going forward 1. The announcement that the DHA must play a leading role in establishing and managing the Border Management Agency will enable the DHA and its partners to ensure a secure and efficient flow of people and goods through ports of entry and establish risk-based systems. 2. The recent audit of the DHA has revealed that the formulation of a number of targets has to be improved without changing their strategic intent. The DHA intends to revise the formulation of these targets and keep the Portfolio Committee fully informed. 3. A specific area of concern that must be addressed is the continued dependence on the Department of Public Works that is blocking progress of key initiatives, such as improving poor infrastructure at ports of entry. 4. The management of asylum seekers and refugees and the modernization of DHA systems are critical areas of that will receive focused attention; as well as immigration issues in general. 5. The hosting of the 2013 AFCON Cup which have budgetary implications 6. The provision of bandwidth by SITA. 7. Continue with the transformation of the DHA
