Digital ID system upgrade and price changes for South Africa

The Department of Home Affairs has rolled out a comprehensive upgrade to South Africa's digital verification system, which will greatly improve the system's efficiency.

The system enables government departments ranging from the National Treasury to the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) to verify client identities against the National Population Register using biometric features.
 
Hell, been waiting for my ID since December and you can't get hold of anyone on either their listed query number or e-mail address. Total incompetence rules the day. The DA have also proved to me they are simply the flip side of the ANC coin both delivering little while playing off against each other.

No thanks.

No consent given for mixing or sharing of public and private identity databases.

Extremely bad idea.
