🎥 This week, #TeamHomeAffairs launched our groundbreaking new citizenship verification and reinstatement service. Watch the explainer video to understand how this new biometrically-secured platform works. 🛂 The same technology already powers our new Electronic Travel…


Today, #TeamHomeAffairs breaks new ground as we launch myhomeaffairsonline.dha.gov.za, where any South African can verify their citizenship and confirm reinstatement of citizenship if it had been unconstitutionally withdrawn. In keeping with our commitment to use digital transformation…


For the G20, we did a soft launch of our groundbreaking Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) that automates and digitalises tourist visas. It works beautifully. The coming expansion of the ETA for secure and efficient migration will be a lasting legacy of SA’s G20 presidency! 🇿🇦

The Democratic Alliance congratulates all of the South African government on securing agreement on the Leaders' Declaration today at the G20 Leaders Summit. This declaration represents a significant and positive outcome. 🇿🇦


Operation New Broom swept through Mayfair in Joburg with our most successful operation to date, as 391 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested for deportation. In communities across SA, Home Affairs is ramping up enforcement to restore rule of law in our immigration system! 🇿🇦


Home Affairs has opened a new 2 500m² state-of-the-art office, equipped with our latest technological upgrades, at the Baywest Mall in Gqeberha. Following shortly on the completion of the new office in Matatiele, we are delivering dignity for the people of the Eastern Cape! 🇿🇦


I am proud to launch the Screen Talent and Global Entertainment Scheme (STAGES), Home Affairs’ new digital visa platform for filmmakers and creatives. Through digital transformation and efficient visa turnaround times, STAGES boosts SA as a leading production destination! 🇿🇦


The adoption by the National Assembly yesterday of the One-Stop Border Post Bill is the very definition of pro-growth reform by the GNU. It lays the foundation to slash red tape and delays, digitalise and modernise border processes, and boost regional trade to create jobs! 🇿🇦

It was an honour to be invited back to Princeton University, where I studied and worked for five years at the Innovations for Successful Societies programme, to deliver a guest lecture on the rapid progress we are making at Home Affairs. Working to build a country on the up! 🇿🇦

Great to open our newest service centres in Canada and the USA that cut turnaround times for Passports from up to 18 months, to just weeks. We’ve also introduced optional doorstep delivery for the first time, as we work to deliver dignity for all South Africans, everywhere!🇿🇦


It was great to represent South Africa at the 2025 Berlin Global Dialogue. In a world of shifting power, fundamental and urgent reform like we are driving at Home Affairs can position us as a country firmly on the up! 🇿🇦

This is a fantastic and well-earned development for our country. Much work remains to be done, but South Africa’s removal from the grey list demonstrates that through focused and urgent implementation, we can drive the reforms our economy needs to grow and create jobs! 🇿🇦

South Africa has been removed from the grey list of a global anti-money-laundering group, which said the country has addressed all 22 deficiencies identified two-and-a-half years ago. brnw.ch/21wWUrQ

I welcome the conviction of a disgraced former Home Affairs official in the Northern Cape. This is our 9th successful conviction, alongside 37 dismissals since July 2024. We’re systematically rebuilding the rule of law through accountability and tech reforms that close loopholes.
