Some of the documents found inside the shop included: fake birth and death certificates, matric certificates, tertiary qualifications, identity documents, foreign and local passports, UIF documents, SARS documents, social grant application forms, municipal bills, vehicle registrations, driver’s licence cards, border stamps, asylum documents, police badges, BBBEE certificates and various government stamps and security cards, among others.
Mazibuko said the man would be thoroughly investigated to determine whether he could be linked to other crimes in the country.
Mazibuko called on people to continue informing authorities about any wrongdoing.
“You can’t, as a South African, watch when wrong things are done in your area and remain silent. Report them and continue sending information. If you don’t trust your local police, confront your local CPF and share such information on our hotline numbers or through our social media accounts,” Mazibuko said.
