Home Affairs Deputy Minister Njabulo Nzuza will on Tuesday embark on an outreach programme in the Dannhauser Local Municipality, in KwaZulu-Natal. The Deputy Minister will be joined by Dannhauser Local Municipality Mayor Bongani Hadebe.
“The programme is part of the department’s efforts to accelerate service delivery and bring essential services closer to communities,” the Department of Home Affairs said in a statement. A key highlight of the visit will be the official handover of birth certificates to successful applicants of the Late Registration of Birth (LRB) process, which forms part of the department’s ongoing campaign to end invisibility and ensure that all citizens are accounted for in the National Population Register.
Part of the programme will focus on an ID drive for the upcoming elections. “Several government departments are expected to support of the programme. This initiative underscores government’s commitment to restoring dignity for all, improving access to services and ensuring that no child or adult remains undocumented,” the department said.
