Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and Deputy Minister Njabulo Nzuza lead service delivery monitoring visits in nine provinces, 14 to 15 Dec

Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and Deputy Minister Njabulo Nzuza to lead Home Affairs service delivery monitoring visits at large Home Affairs offices in all nine provinces

The Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, and Deputy Minister, Mr Njabulo Nzuza, are scheduled to undertake service delivery visits to some Home Affairs offices which serve a large number of people, on 14 and 15 December 2020. The Minister will be in Gauteng while the Deputy Minister will be in KwaZulu-Natal.

The visits are aimed at monitoring the delivery of services and adherence to Covid-19 regulations at Home Affairs offices. The Department of Home Affairs usually experiences higher than normal volumes of visitors during the holiday season. This trend is expected to continue this year and the Covid 19 pandemic demands additional vigilance.

Senior managers have been deployed to all provinces over the two days. Director-General, Mr Tommy Makhode, will be in the Western Cape.

At the start of the lockdown period, the Department drew a plan of delivering services during the different alert levels. The visits are aimed at monitoring the implementation of these plans and making the requisite interventions to ensure that Home Affairs officials and citizens deliver and receive services in a safe environment.

Each time there is a Covid-19 positive case at one of our offices, services are disrupted because such offices close, officials are tested, buildings are decontaminated and the names and contact details of people who had visited that office are sent to the Department of Health for contact tracing.

Any person wishing to visit a Home Affairs office is reminded to wear their mask, observe social distancing and regularly sanitise or wash their hands with water and soap.
