Thola Sithole and Girle Dube, supervisor and manager from the local Home Affairs Office respectively, took it upon themselves to lend a soothing hand to the endless mass of people always waiting for service at Home Affairs.
Today, with the assistance and contribution of TM Mladlose at the Department of Education, a huge pot of soup was boiling on a gas stove in front, and some of the other officials were dishing out oranges to the old ‘gogos’ in the queue.
Thola took this opportunity to inform the public at large that there are still 547 uncollected smart cards waiting for their owners at the offices.
The number of I.D. Books that still needs to be collected now stands at 64. There are 54 uncollected passports. The local Amajuba Region of the Department, which is covered by this office is now being served by Home Affairs Youth Ambassadors going door to door to deliver some of these ID documents before the August 3 elections. These are Ladysmith, Msinga, Nquthu, Greytown, Newcastle, Estcourt and Dundee.
