Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs says it notes with concern media
reports that South African passports, as well as other supporting documentation,
were stolen during a hijacking on 27 July.
It says the documents were submitted as part of an application process for UK visas.
The Committee says it is especially concerned as the documents include sensitive personal and private information of applicants that they would not ordinarily share with anyone.
It has called on the South African Police Service to leave no stone un-turned in ensuring that the culprits are arrested and prosecuted.
News24 reported that the passports were stolen when a courier van transporting the applications for UK visas was hijacked in Johannesburg.
