[@stanleynkosikamthembu168]

He clarified it aptly, "fake news", particularly in this high-tech world. The point is" who world benefit the most from the fake news created about a SA Home Affairs Minister being a foreigner? It is the foreigners themselves creating instability in our country with the ultimate aim of fragmenting it. Fight harder South Africa for your lands, your country, fight smarter. There is a dedicated, rabidly anti-RSA cottage industry stretching from West Africa, across the planet and whirling deep into SA itself.

He is missing a point already, Motsoaledi was in the process of phasing out the green ID book replacing it with the smart card, many illegal immigrants are walking around with fake IDs some of which belong to deceased persons. It is very important to have a deadline by which the green ID books will be completely phased out. He needs to speak to Motsoaledi to get an update and continue with the work he had started, he should not reinvent the wheel.

Review and arest all false illegal immigrants ID

[@raouliz345]

There also needs to be an online document tracking system, not just for passports and IDs but every conceivable document e.g. letter of no impediment, marriage certificates etc. Issuing new IDs should be sped up to no more than 10 business days, we also need a way to deal with the police clearance certificate backlogs. It costs +- 150-200 rand and takes 3 months in some cases to be issued and more than 6500 to have this done and shipped overseas. I don't know who is bribing who but I'd prefer the middle man completely removed and rather have an efficient, fast, cheap and accountable process

[@lebohangmohapi8605]

Nothing about illegal immigration then? Not impressed.

[@Nathan41817]

Main problem is corruption of officials. Don’t you ask yourself how do people without no documents enter???? Go to beit bridge see the corruption….

[@OldRhino]

All South Africans have to carry their ID's, not just black people. In fact, I don't just have to carry my ID, I have to carry my drivers license, as well. When I go into the bank or Home Affairs and a lot of other places, I have to show my ID. When the metro police pull me over, and when I go to pay a speeding ticket, I have show my drivers license. So this isn't a race thing, at all, it's just how it works.
