#FullView NUMBER OF THE DAY: 100

Our number of the day is 100. Well, it is 100 days to go until Britain exits the European Union. Experts say South Africans could find it more difficult to apply for a UK visa. They say SA has a relatively weak passport value, while a key promise of Brexit has been to increase British border control. Britain revoked SA's visa-free status in 2009, citing security concerns with the Department of Home Affairs. These restrictions have not yet been rolled back, indicating that SA is still seen as a "country fraught with corruption". However, the complex implications of Brexit mean that the UK is increasingly trying to get skilled and highly skilled workers to the country to fill gaps in its labour market, which is good news for South Africans seeking opportunities abroad. In 2018, SA ranked 52 out of 106 countries by the Henley & Partners Passport Index, which measures countries' passports on their ability to access other states visa-free.
