Home Affairs has delivered a historic victory for the inclusion, equality and dignity of Khoi-San communities, as I today handed over the very first Smart ID containing a traditional Khoi-San name to !Khūboab Lawrence, a first-year student at Stellenbosch. A month ago, I found out that !Khūboab could not get an ID, because outdated systems could not process all the characters used in his name. We immediately got to work on this long-overlooked injustice. Just four weeks later, we have now enabled the use of traditional Khoi-San names on birth certificates, Smart IDs and Passport for the first time in South African history. This is the power of digital transformation to deliver dignity for all! 🇿🇦

The Department of Social Development’s draft Children’s Amendment Bill criminalises baby savers and safe relinquishment. The DA’s Private Members Bill does the opposite- it legalises baby savers, baby safe havens and safe relinquishment. Speak out against DSD’s bill. Submit your support and submission on the DA’s bill before 16 November 2025 at speaker@parliament.gov.za and copy in legislation@da.org.za #babysaver #childprotection #TheSafeRelinquishmentBill #savebabies #DemocraticAlliance

“DA files ethics complaint against Minister of Social Development by Alexandra Abrahams MP - DA Spokesperson on Social Development   Date: 19 October 2025 On Friday the Democratic Alliance filed an ethics complaint against Minister for Social Development, Nokuzola Tolashe, for allegedly misleading Parliament. Minister Tolashe contradicted a Cabinet resolution that the Director-General of Social Development, Peter Netshipale, should only be appointed for one year and thereby failed to uphold the standards of conduct expected of her. By publishing a misleading response to a written parliamentary question and submitting a misleading report to the portfolio committee on Netshipale’s appointment, the DA has concluded that the Minister has lied to Parliament not once but twice which may constitute an offence. The Minister has reportedly used her position to influenced hiring and recruitment processes by shielding her favoured special advisor, Ngwako Kgatla, from accountability and disciplinary processes. She then employed an unqualified and unsuitable person – Lesedi Mabiletja – to the position of Private and Appointment Secretary and Acting Chief of Staff, based on alleged favouritism and nepotism. Minister Tolashe’s conduct, if true, amounts to a violation of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members Interest which all members of parliament and the executive are meant to be uphold. Minister Tolashe has brought Parliament and the Department of Social Development into disrepute and is not fit to hold her position and should be removed. There is a serious crisis of leadership at the Department of Social Development, one of government’s most crucial departments with budget of R294 billion and responsible for the payment of social grants, which is detrimental to deliver on its core functions and mandate. Minister Tolashe should be held to account for all the failures, and if she is found guilty by the ethics committee, the DA will be demanding serious accountability.”

A leaked letter from the Minister to her DG exposes serious failures including allegations of misconduct and an irregular appointment. This demands urgent accountability. Reports also suggest that the Minister’s adviser, Ngwako Kgatla, remains in her office despite allegations of misconduct — raising serious concerns about integrity and governance. The DA will write to the Chairperson of the Social Development Committee to summon Minister Tolashe to explain Parliament cannot again be asked: “Where was Parliament?” South Africa’s most vulnerable deserve competent, credible leadership. #DASocialDevelopment #Accountability #SASSA #TolasheMustAccount

Defying a Cabinet decision isn’t a “clerical error,” Minister Tolashe — it’s unlawful and must have consequences . Accountability matters!

Too many teenage pregnancies are the result of statutory rape, illegal child marriages & failed protection systems. Every girl deserves safety, dignity & a future. The DA stands for stronger laws & real protection. 💙 #DayOfTheGirl #EndChildMarriage
