Home Affairs goes on a birth registration drive

Home Affairs Department will this weekend be doing a follow-up to a pilot they started last weekend where they are availed officials at all health facilities with maternity wards. This is in order to fast track registration of new-born babies at medical facilities where the child is born. A family has up to 30 days to register a birth. Registration of birth after 30 days is considered to be a late registration and additional requirements apply. We spoke to the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Njabulo Nzuza.
