    eHomeAffairs - getting it to work for you

    I got mine on Tuesday from Akasia. They did send a sms. Compared to when I applied, it was not a nice experience. I got there at 7:30am and already there was a queue for collections of about 60 people. The queue didn't move at all for ages and when it did it was only to let a small amount of...

    Rain External IP Address Problems.

    Can you tell us what the reason why this has happened? Also because it hasn’t been fixed yet, I am still unable to use certain services. I did think I might have been able to deal with it by using a dynamic dns service and assigning it in the router but there’s no option on the rain provided...

    Thanks for the response. Bit frustrating that it can be a week or more for a solution.

    Rain External IP Address Problems.

    Thanks. At least you aren’t being dismissive unlike your colleagues at the call centre. They seem to believe that the IP changing so often was normal.

    eHomeAffairs - getting it to work for you

    I know this is for the ehome affairs business but the last time I tried to register, it said I was not allowed as I am not a born South African. How do I go about manually applying for a passport? Just turn up at a DHA office and join the queue?

    Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented at 16:00 - 24:00 this afternoon and tomorrow [2022-08-03]

    Am I wrong in thinking that there isn't actually a time 24:00? Surely should read 00:00?
