No person forfeits their right to life, dignity or their status as a human being because they are alleged to have violated a law. This is a defining feature of our Constitution that sets us apart as a nation of due process and the rule of law. We will not tolerate anyone using allegations related to any person’s nationality or immigration status to violate their inherent human dignity and our Constitution, or to inflict damage on our society. It simply cannot and will not stand.

🚨 Big news: for the first time ever, over 1.4 million naturalised citizens and lawful permanent residents are now eligible to obtain Smart IDs and use eHomeAffairs! We’re starting with applicants from visa exempt countries and then expanding to all others. This a major milestone on the digital transformation journey of #TeamHomeAffairs, which continues to deliver and accelerate. It is a victory for social inclusion, as these citizens and lawful residents were previously excluded from the Smart ID and restricted to the vulnerable green ID book. And it is a victory for national security, as it makes our country less reliant on the insecure green ID book. Broadening inclusion, enhancing security, and boldly moving our country into the future: this is the power of digital transformation as Home Affairs works to deliver dignity for all 🇿🇦

Just met the hardest-working group of government officials in South Africa. The backlog project at #TeamHomeAffairs is working night and day to eradicate a backlog of over 306 000 applications dating as far back as 2014. Clearing this backlog securely will inject skills and capital directly into the veins of our economy. It will also lay the foundation for the digital transformation and modernisation of Home Affairs to become an engine of job creation. Our rallying cry is clear: no backlog by Christmas! 🇿🇦

Operation New Broom again swept through Cape Town, arresting dozens more illegal immigrants. Once deported, they’re also banned from legally reentering South Africa. If you’re here illegally, go home now - before we catch you and similarly ban you from legally entering in future.

Home Affairs has heard the pleas of South Africans living abroad, who have struggled for years to renew their passports and IDs, often waiting 12+ months just to get a new passport. From end July, we’re launching new facilities abroad - with a turnaround time of just 5 weeks. We’re starting in Australia, New Zealand and the UAE this month, followed by France, Germany and The Netherlands later this year, and the USA and Canada in the new year. But even this step is still just an interim solution. Our ultimate aim is to deliver Home Affairs @ home, which will enable every South African - no matter where they are on the planet - to obtain services from their government online 🇿🇦
