The department of home affairs aims to migrate to a new electronic system by the end of the year, but will it catch up on the backlog of undocumented migrants, births, and deaths on the system? Lynnette Swart, a marriage officer, has been waiting nine years to update her twin’s birth certificate. “I wasn’t married when I gave birth to my twins so the social worker only put my details on the birth certificate,” Swart said.
“I wasn’t married when I gave birth to my twins so the social worker only put my details on the birth certificate,” Swart said.“In 2012, he even came up from Pietermaritzburg to sign and file the documents. Since then, we’ve heard nothing,” Swart said. Swart said because people were not able to see each other during lockdown, it was as if when the borders opened everyone just wanted to get married.Angel Khanyile – Democratic Alliance spokesperson for home affairs – said the upgrade was certainly a step in the right direction in addressing the frustration people have with the department.
