Home affairs to extend its hours at these branches during winter holidays: Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has approved a temporary extension of operating times at selected offices by two hours until July 15.

The department encouraged the public to use the branch appointment booking system to schedule visits.for extended hours are in the Western Cape, the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, the North West, Mpumalanga, the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal.

The extended hours also include selected bank branches in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. “No walk-ins are allowed at banks. You can only visit a bank branch once you have made an online application and booked your visit,” said the department. In May, Motsoaledi said the department would open more branches in shopping malls to reduce long queues.“Operating home affairs offices at malls will obviate the problem of queuing in the sun or rain. Malls will also provide convenient and safe parking for clients,” he said.

As the malls have to move some tenants around to make way for home affairs, the department will install equipment in September. The department will start with five malls — three in Gauteng, one in KwaZulu-Natal and the other in Cape Town.

GROUNDUP EDITORIAL: GroundView — Aaron Motsoaledi’s shameful outburst at NGOs with Trumpism rhetoricInstead of providing a reasoned defence of the government’s decision to end the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit, he has made a venomous, unhinged attacked on civil society. HSF is not civil society but a white supremacist organization using human rights as a front. We know Helen Suzman's history & this foundation is a continuation of that. DHA & Minster work for us not HSF. They can go with the ZEP holders if they feel so strongly about it. He is doing exactly what a sober minded and patriotic South African should do ie protecting the country from scumbags who masquerade as NGOs. But whites are desperate
