In an effort to support the Class of ’24 matriculants, the Department of Home Affair’s offices will be open on Saturdays between 08:00 and 13:00, until 12 October.
Offices will be open to assist with applications and issuance of Temporary Identity Certificates, ID collection and applications services. According to the department, matriculants and learners will be prioritised during this period.
“This initiative is specifically aimed to enable matriculants to write their exams, which is the first step towards economic empowerment of young people,” stated Home Affairs Minister, Dr Leon Schreiber. “We encourage matriculants who are waiting on their IDs, along with their parents, to make their way to the nearest Home Affairs or where they applied.”
The department encourages those who have applied for identification documents and have received their collection SMS, to seize the opportunity by visiting their local Home Affairs office to collect their documents.
