I will love to praise yor service you rendering,through the minister`s line i really got a huge assistance- on the 11th of September 2010 i applied with the Alexandra District for changing my son`s surname into my surname. From then it was nightmare as when i called the call centre- no application paper`s were received and i had to go back for the papers to be re-sent about two times this year. My colleque advised me about this line and i didn`t believe it, i called once to give my problem and my particulars and to be told to call after one week. After one week when i call they told me that everything was done- iwent to collect it. I`m proud of you may u keep the good work rolling,thanks so much. Many thanks and kind regards Given Gumede.

Corruption within the home affairs department has rendered South African identity documents suspect internationally. This is according to Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

“We can no longer be sure whether the person in possession of a South African passport is 100 percent South African,” Dlamini-Zuma says.

She says regardless of the new security features in the new passports, some countries still demand visas because a South African passport is not secure enough.

“We have a lot to clean up in our population register,” she says.
