Applied over a year ago. Told to collect in Randburg. Randburg says it's in Durban. Durban says they don't have it.

@HomeAffairsSA you have completely ignored my messages for assistance to you. I've been waiting over a year for my ID. Randburg says Durban has it. Durban says they don't. At this point, I'm convinced my ID has a better social life than I. Can someone @HomeAffairsSA please tell me where it is?

Is @SANDF_ZA still in communities fighting crime, drugs and zama zamas? Genuine question. 🤔
No drug dens shut down. No sign of an integrated service response for those battling addiction. Communities are still living with the same problems.
What happened to the intervention?

#CabinetReshuffle IRONIC that @jsteenhuisen is been demoted to DM... @Chriseldalewis wasn't he the one that said deputy ministers must be abolished?! 🤔

BREAKING NEWS #CabinetReshuffle 1/2 The Presidency has confirmed that DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis has asked President Ramaphosa to effect changes to DA Cabinet members. Below is what the DA is asking for. [READ] #sabcnews

@marcia_breeze he's not been fired from what I understand. He is been demoted to DM and replaced by Aucamp. Steenhuizen will move to DM @the_dtic
English

Can the DA firing him as their appointed representative result in him being ineligible to be a minister? If so, why doesn't Hill-Lewis fire him?

@MzwaneleManyi No Jimmy, that was a fall. He fell flat on his back. That's no "stumble".

C'mon MDM News. The man stumbled because the stage was overcrowded, got up instantly, and continued dancing. Yet you've chosen to turn an ordinary mishap into a story. Why be so unnecessarily vile?

58,1% of #youth neither working, studying nor in training. That's nearly half a generation shut out of opportunity.

@Sunflowerreal @Yfm @djsbu @HomeAffairsSA @Leon_Schreib hello @HomeAffairsSA can i get some assistance here?? Your phone lines just ring and go unanswered. I've sent countless emails and NO RESPONSE!
@Leon_Schreib this is more than a delay. It's lack of accountability.

@Sunflowerreal @Yfm @djsbu After more than a year of being sent between Randburg and Durban, I'm seriously considering camping out at Home Affairs until someone can tell me where my ID actually is.
How does an ID vanish into thin air for over a year? @HomeAffairsSA @Leon_Schreib

THE FAMOUS ID APPLICATION HOSTAGE THAT HAPPENED LIVE ON RADIO @Yfm @djsbu 👇🏿
Kabelo Thibedi is a man remembered for his dramatic hostage taking at a government office to obtain his long delayed identity document.
On the 30 November 2005 the 21 year old walked into the Department of Home Affairs regional offices in central Johannesburg and held a female staff member Lanelle Small, hostage inside an office for around six hours. Armed only with a toy gun, Thibedi demanded the immediate issuance and delivery of his ID book. His extreme action stemmed from years of deep frustration ,he had waited more than 2 years, submitted 9 unsuccessful applications, and had already lost a job because he lacked the required document.
The standoff captured national attention. Radio stations across the country received calls from listeners who expressed strong sympathy for his battle against bureaucratic inefficiency. While barricaded in the office, Thibedi called in the popular youth station YFM and spoke live with DJ Sbu, who suddenly found himself acting as an on air negotiator, trying to calm the young man and warn him of the potential consequences. The broadcast dramatically heightened public awareness, drawing thousands of supportive reactions.
To end the crisis Home Affairs officials arranged for Thibedi’s completed ID book to be flown by helicopter from Pretoria to Johannesburg. Once it was handed over, police used stun grenades to storm the room and arrest him. In 2006, he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to five years in prison.
He later appealed the sentence. In October 2009, the South Gauteng High Court backdated it, allowing him to avoid serving time in actual jail.
