Yes I would hate French on my SA passport. It is not one of our 11 languages!!

More Sunday Times drivel. Don't you have anything better to 'report' on? 🙄

I really don't care. Words and name changes mean nothing, unlike the one minister who loves renaming towns thinking that will solve the problem. If changing this means better access for our passports then why not. But really, I don't care

Nonsense

What language must be there since English is also colonial. So dumb.

Why do home affairs not upgrade their 2MB line ( 2002 technology) into a 200MB line? Anything else would be a waste of money

I honestly don’t care. Less issues if you go to a French speaking country

The shit that we worry about. Sounds like a Passport tender coming up ala Asbestos

And how does that effect us? To change will cost millions that right now are better spent elsewhere.

Lol. Why don’t replace with Zulu so we’re all stuck at the airport for an extra hour while passport control work out what book they’re looking at and ponder the Zulu worth to global society…
