South African ID fraud tops the continental list

The government has yet to completely phase out the green barcoded ID book despite replacing it with a newer and improved smart ID card over a decade ago.
Home Affairs officials say they haven't communicated when the former will finally be retired. According to the department, many South Africans still hold the green ID book which is a legally accepted document. Security experts, however, say a research report by Smile ID showed that South African ID fraud tops the continental list and this calls for the government to discontinue green barcoded IDs.

With the green ID we will be able to see who were in SA prior 1994 or when it was changed. A lot of illegal immigrants are in possession of the new card. I'll keep my green ID it seems we're gonna need it as proof that we were here before 1994. They never revealed the outcome of Census 2024...we are still waiting. Coloured people...keep your ID's.

Two Asian nationals (may be Pakistani or Bangladeshi) were arrested on separate months in Durban with equipment that produce illegal documentation from drivers Cards with PrDP, Transnet fishing permits, ID Cards, Firearm licence/permit Cards, PSIRA security Cards, SASSA grant Cards, Metro Police Cards and Bank Cards. EFF lost votes for not addressing our porous immigration status

[@LeroyPrinsloo-vw4zb]

Even the smart card is given to illegal immigrants legally by some official's so what does that help,
