South Africans must say goodbye to the green ID book

The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is on a quest to eradicate the green bar-coded ID book to ensure every South African has a smart ID card with more protection.

This is according to Home Affairs director-general Tommy Makhode, who was responding to questions before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs.

But will we say goodbye to corruption?

I have my old ID book which I got when I was still 16. Now they want me to pay for a new one. If they want me to get a new smart id, they must subsidize it or give the first smart id free

I'm still happy with my "green ID book".

The Pic in there was taken in 2001, a simpler time.

I will never upgrade to the new digitized system until I retire and get it for free. Until then they can **** off. Even if it means I cannot vote DA again

 

[Brian_G]

This again?

Not gonna happen in my lifetime.

Didn't the DA ask you not to vote for them anymore?

Do I look like I was born in Dumbfuckistan ?

 

[Supervan II]

I'll sit this one out.

"A quest? What kind of a quest?"

still waiting to be invited, maybe the next thief will deliver it, while he is stealing a TV

 

[My_King]

I am shocked. A mention of the green ID book without mentioning apartheid.

And only 34 years after it ended.

SHEM!!!!!

R140 to not carry a bulky / filthy book is cheap as chips.

Me too, never got the expected notification that it was time to apply. Useless dept.

So carrying a flithy cracked ID card is better?

It is rather apt ...
