'He does not qualify for either a port of entry visa‚ any other visa‚ admission into the Republic or a permanent residence permit'

The Southern Africa Litigation Centre has filed an application requesting the Western Cape High Court to cancel the visa of convicted arms trafficker and war criminal Guus Kouwenhoven.

The centre said Kouwenhoven was convicted of arms trafficking in Liberia during the presidency of Charles Taylor. Ramjathan-Keogh said Kouwenhoven led an extravagant life in an upmarket Cape Town suburb and was unrepentant for the thousands of deaths and atrocities for which he was responsible. Ramjathan-Keogh said the centre was concerned that the department of home affairs‚ despite being aware of this case for more than two years‚ had failed to take steps to cancel the visa.
