🎥 This week, #TeamHomeAffairs launched our groundbreaking new citizenship verification and reinstatement service. Watch the explainer video to understand how this new biometrically-secured platform works. 🛂 The same technology already powers our new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which digitalises and automates visa processes to eliminate fraud and inefficiency. 🪪... Over the next few months, we will expand its use further to enable Smart ID and Passport services at hundreds of bank branches and on banking apps, and to launch a cutting-edge Digital ID system that eliminates inefficiency and identity theft, and clamps down on illegal immigration. 📱 Few governments on earth deliver civics, citizenship and immigration services at this level of technological sophistication. Our drive to deliver 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴 @ 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 through digital transformation, is rapidly reforming South Africa from a laggard into a global leader in this domain! 🇿🇦show more

Today, #TeamHomeAffairs breaks new ground as we launch where any South African can verify their citizenship and confirm reinstatement of citizenship if it had been unconstitutionally withdrawn. In keeping with our commitment to use digital transformation to deliver 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴 @ 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦, this process involves no queues and no paperwork whatsoever. Instead, it uses facial recognition and machine learning to verify your identity and securely correct your record on the population register - all from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in the world, instantly. This not only ensures compliance with an order issued earlier this year by the Constitutional Court on the reinstatement of citizenship, but also positions Home Affairs at the global cutting-edge of biometric verification and machine learning technology to deliver digital public infrastructure. Very few countries on earth offer digital citizenship services at this level of sophistication. Over time, the powerful underlying technology we have built for this portal will also significantly enhance other services, as well as immigration and citizenship law enforcement, by eliminating reliance on paperwork and manual verification. Home Affairs is building a digital service delivery revolution, storming into the future to transform South Africa into a world leader in smart government that delivers dignity for all! 🇿🇦

Our new digital partnership model, which will enable all South Africans to get a Smart ID or Passport at hundreds more bank branches and through banking apps, is the most transformative, pro-inclusion and pro-poor reform in the history of Home Affairs 🇿🇦

It was my privilege to demonstrate the digital future of our immigration system to President Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 yesterday. During SONA in February, the President announced that Home Affairs would build an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to digitalise visa and entry/exit processes at ports of entry. I am delighted to announce that, by the end of September, the ETA will go live for tourist visa applications shorter than 90 days and will be rolled out by the BMA at major international airports. Over time, we will expand the ETA so that every type of visa application is processed only through this AI-based system to eliminate fraud and inefficiency - forever. Through our vision for digital transformation, Home Affairs is building a tech-driven service delivery revolution that enhances national security and efficiency to grow our economy. We will not stop until we have delivered world-class systems that ensure dignity for all! 🇿🇦

🚨 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 🇿🇦

Honourable Members, The most important intervention to tackle the problem of illegal immigration is to secure our borders. The newly-established Border Management Authority hasdeployed 600 border guards at the vulnerable segments of our land border to prevent illegal migrants that are undocumented and inadmissible from entering the country. The Border Management Authority has demonstrated the effectiveness of modern technology like drones and body cameras in creating a more secure, digital border environment. Phase one of the Electronic Travel Authorisation system is currently being rolled out for G20 delegates. Over 200 applications have already been seamlessly processed by this new system, which uses machine learning to verify the authenticity of documents and facial recognition to secure the immigration process. Following the stabilisation phase around the G20, Electronic Travel Authorisation will be opened for tourist visas and to other visa categories. This will ultimately lead to the automation of entry-and-exit processes at our borders, including at land borders. This will eliminate the space for the abuse of paper-based and manual processes through biometric verification and digital transformation. Another area of work is to detect, apprehend and deport illegal migrants in the country. This is mainly done through intelligence-driven joint operations planned and executed by the Department of Home Affairs Inland Inspectorate and other structures. These structures are coordinated and account to the Inter-Ministerial Consultative Committee on Border Management and the NATJOINTS. In the past financial year, over 51,000 illegal immigrants were deported. Engagements with countries whose nationals are frequent transgressors are ongoing through discussions with embassies, and these matters are also included as an Agenda item on Bi-National Commissions. This is to ensure that the implication of illegal migration is understood. Illegal immigration does place a strain on our social services and undermines our national security. We should not allow vigilante acts targeting foreign nationals as these do not solve the problem and theyundermine the rule of law. Instead, we need to address this challenge by strengthening the enforcement of our laws and the resourcing of our border management capabilities. #RamaphosaQandA

In 2020 the news service - France24 did an expose into China’s digital ID system. It ranks people via a social credit and gives state oversight and control over every aspect of their lives. It’s disturbing and shocking. Ironically France right this moment is scrambling to build its own Biometric Digital ID system, which the country is negotiating with the entire EU for the whole of the Europe to adopt. The goal is to expand into passports, facial recognition border technology and currency. France has stated that they want to build this to a global digital system. France’s Digital ID system was introduced in 2023 under the guise of keeping children safe from social media. Watch the video below, this is where Luxon is going to take New Zealand to.

Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber says the main shift since President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke on illegal immigration is a move toward technology-driven reforms, especially replacing the fraud-prone green ID book with the more secure smart ID system. He says this is being fast-tracked through bank rollouts and biometric verification to reduce fraud and strengthen identity checks.

🚨: This Government is quietly pushing Digital ID through the back door. From November, over 8 million company directors will be forced to verify themselves using the Government’s One Login system - the same flawed platform already being compared to Horizon all over again. This is a dangerous step toward a national Digital ID, creating serious risks of data breaches, identity theft, and mission creep. Business owners already have safe, proven ways to prove who they are. There is absolutely no need for a new centralised system. 👉🏻 Sign and share the petition to stop this now: 🔗 Don’t forget to tick the box to stay updated on our campaigns. #DigitalID

🚩🚩Please read sign this petition asking for a FULL public consultation on digital ID to stop authoritarianist over reach. One only has to see what is happening in the UK, and soon Australia (which rolls out age verification in December) and multiple other countries to realise this has nothing to do with keeping children safe, but everything to do with control of what you do, what you say and eventually over sight of every aspect of your life. The bureaucrats and the Govt are banking on your lack of tech literacy and extensive use of gaslighting. Age verification will necessitate centralising your biometric data in order FOR ANYONE to use the internet. This is the mass on boarding process towards full blown Digital ID and digital currency. When the UN, World Bank, WEF, Blackrock, Helen Clark, Tony Blair, Bill Gates, The Bank for international Settlements, Albanese and Keir Starmer are lobbying for Digital ID its a pretty whopping big clue. National, Labour, Greens have said they’ll work together to pass legislation for age verification and digital ID. This is a total disaster. Watch the video. Winston Peters on fighting against Digital ID & global overreach. Petition here :

Whitney Webb breaks down the coordinated global push for a new, dystopian system of control, marrying digital ID with CBDCs. This isn't conspiracy; it's all in their own documentation. They are building a full-spectrum digital cage, and its two locked doors are Digital Identity and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). You cannot have one without the other. The plan is to replace your government-issued ID with a Digital ID, but it's not just a card in your phone. It is fundamentally built upon your immutable biometrics: your fingerprints, the precise structure of your face, the unique pattern of your iris. This biometric data is the key. It is the hard link that ties your physical body directly to your digital identity credential. Your very body becomes your password. The reason this is so critical for them is the financial system. UN & Bank for International Settlements docs overtly state that Digital ID and CBDCs are designed to be integrated. The system cannot exist without this biometric digital ID. Why? Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. For this new digital financial system to function, they must absolutely "know" every single participant. Your digital wallet will be tied to your digital ID, which is mapped to your biometrics. Total financial-biological linkage. We see the prototypes being rolled out now: • Sam Altman's WorldCoin lures people to scan their irises for a "unique identifier" and a digital wallet. This is the exact model. • The UN's "Building Blocks" program forces refugees to scan their iris at checkout to receive food rations. The value is deducted from a wallet tied to that biometric ID. They justify this total surveillance under the guise of closing the "identity gap," claiming the world's poor need digital IDs to access essential services like banking and healthcare. The reality? This is the ultimate onboarding mechanism into a system of programmable control, where your access to society and your own money is permissioned and revocable based on your compliance. This is the bedrock of the new global financial system. It is not about convenience. It is about control. Your body is the new currency, and they are forcing you to hand over the keys.

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 🇿🇦

Here comes Digital ID folks im so fucking done with this government and with this country i want out. REPEAT AFTER ME WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT DO NOT COMPLY DO NOT CONSENT The Government is implementing a ‘tell-us-once’ approach and investing $654.3 million to expand the use of Digital ID to safely verify identity, reduce data storage and improve access to government services online. A further $62 million is being invested into the Consumer Data Right, including finding new ways for customers to use their own data to save money and get better services.

This year we will recruit over 700 new Defence Forces members - a 69% increase on our 2023 intake. We’ve turned the corner on recruitment, and I look forward to further progress in the transformation of our Army, Air Corps and Naval Service in the years to come.

Yesterday, I spoke in the Westminster Hall debate on #DigitalID and I made my position clear: we must protect freedom, privacy, and public trust. Digital ID fails on all three. I strongly oppose this Labour Government’s planned mandatory digital identification scheme. In my view, it is a distraction from recent scandals and from the Labour Government’s continued failure to properly address illegal immigration. A digital ID card cuts across our English Common Law rights, the very foundations of our freedoms. And let’s be clear: a mandatory digital ID will not stop Channel crossings only a proper and effective deterrent will. Linking migration policy to digital ID also risks fuelling conspiracy theories, deepening public distrust, and distracting from real enforcement. France and Italy already have similar systems yet both still face major migration challenges. Successive governments have rejected ID cards for good reason. Keir Starmer made no mention of digital ID in his manifesto before the General Election, avoiding full public scrutiny of what is an intrusive and far-reaching proposal. A government-issued mandatory digital identity is not necessary for delivering online public services, verifying benefits or employment, or confirming immigration status. Government already holds this information, with existing safeguards in place. Introducing a compulsory digital ID would bring major security risks, a shift of power away from individuals, and huge costs to the taxpayer all for no clear benefit.
