Summary

Home Affairs just launched MyHomeAffairsOnline to crack down on slot-hogging and reselling—now you need a verified ID-linked profile to book. This move aims to restore fair access for everyday South Africans after years of abuse by shady syndicates. Minister Leon Schreiber calls it a major step in digital transformation, linking security to verified identities. Meanwhile, the push to replace easily forged green ID books with secure smart cards continues, strengthening national identity systems and fighting fraud.
