#Home Affairs

The South African Department of Home Affairs has expanded its Smart ID replacement services to over 200 banks, with more than 250,000 individuals utilizing the service since its launch in March, according to SABC News.

During the budget vote discussion on Home Affairs, Members of Parliament (MPs) focused heavily on the topic of undocumented foreigners and the implications of their deportation. This debate reflects ongoing concerns regarding immigration policies and their impact on the country.
