The Department of Home Affairs has signed an agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to eliminate delays and a backlog in decisions for asylum seekers. The start of the backlog coincides with the year 2008 when there was a global financial crisis. Currently it stands at more than 153 000.
