SA does not know the number of undocumented children in the country.

“The department does not have the records of undocumented children as the records at its disposal are of those who are documented; as such it is difficult to ascertain the number of the undocumented children being those born to South African parents or foreign nationals,” said Motsoaledi.

“Undocumented persons have to present themselves for registration on the National Population Register by the department to achieve such.” He said SatsSA is tasked with producing “timely, accurate and accessible official statistics from the civil registration system. Within this system, the department of health is responsible for registration of births occurring in health facilities.

“The aim of government is to ensure that babies are registered and issued with birth certificates shortly after birth at health facilities, for collection of vital statistics which are important for planning and service delivery.”

For some reason all Ministers don't know what is going on with their portfolio. They always unsure, still to investigate or was not aware yet they are the head, yane ANC is worse than Mjolo

Which means Aaron motswaledi is earning doing nothing at all he must leave our home affairs

Of course we won't. They breed like rabbits these foreigners

And if you say all foreigners should be documented u're branded a rrrrrrracist or a xenophobe.

PutSouthAficansFirst GBVTaskForceNow

Bullshit

Aaron is incompetent.

can't even maintain basic functions of birth registration and documentation of citizens let alone manage immigration. this party now needs a hard kick where it hurts -at the polls

the ANC administration is failed. i refuse to support this government if they are re-elected into national government at next national polls. one cannot be paying hard earned money to support such dismal failures

You talk too much with zero action.

VoetsekAron

Awu. Are these children not born in SA Government hospitals

Useless Minister of the Thuma Mina Church.

How would they know - if they are undocumented!? 🤷🏾

That is daft!!!

Ok but the Covid numbers wona? 🤷🏿‍♂️

Gud for those children as they are living off the Grid

Why am i not surprised

Konje some of those kids receive social grant while living in Mozambique,eswatini,lesotho, Botswana Zimbabwe

Very soon HermanMashaba will fix that mess.

😂 😂 😂

Mnnxxxx!

If they knew would they be declared as undocumented? Some articles are as stupid

Another tender scandal looming. Who will maintain and calibrate these sophisticate systems?🤔

They must just ask UNICEF this institution has been insisting SA has more immigrants children than any other in the world, let them produce numbers

Same government idiots who give false about fake Covid-19 Stastics

Nothing they ever know cANCer!!😒😒😒..

Huh….👀👀🧐

How will they know the number of undocumented children if most of their parents are roaming in the country freely and undocumented?

Kobie19607671 SA doesn't seem to know much of anything the last 27 years now does it?

Ifana nabo

🙄

They do not want to document children born in SA even if the parents are documented. They need to fix that error.

Is this a joke

Be cause they don't want to document them.

Lol

We need a Movement for Deportations. Crowd Funded by Patriots

While at it, SA does not know the number of undocumented foreign nationals

Its because Zimbabweans come 8 months preg in the Khantry then deliver. How will u know the Stats if you have so many unaccounted for people in the Khantry

Dusty51266077 Minister of HA is Not South Africa.

That's the MYANC for you...they don't know what's going on in there own party ket alone SA.

Yeses this country is gone imagine the whole continent in SA with their children 🤔🤔🤔🤔eff boarderless policies

It’s a shameful act by our government

Foreigners are now triple our number, we are in shit. All because of nonsense called anc, nxxx

We didn't know that ANC will mes up, only their families are enjoying this freedom. We suffer a lot.

I don't blame them. The way the illegals breed, i don't think even they know how many kids they have.

Motsoaledi must not fool us, they gave foreigners too much freedom and they seem to like that. Our nurses are over working stressed because they give birth daily and are RUDE.

This is what happen when people want to govern but don't have a clue what they talking about

And we know the vaccine death toll, infection rate etc etc daily? Ya ne Sataflika our land

Mxm.

Lot of jokes in this country

This man has come again with complicated things when he fails to do the simple things - just like he did in health. Talking about NHI when there is no panado in clinics.

The only thing you know is Covid 19 waves timelines.

I wonder do they know the number of illegal immigrants?

What does Home of Horror affairs know ,what really.

It can only know the number of those that are documented.

We in deep shit.

Let's build refugee camps then.

How will they know when they don’t even know how many migrants are in SA . Kusazo nyiwa

Mara ANC iyasidelela bakithi 😩😩

Department of horror affairs to the amusement of Julias malema( father unknown/undocumented) =borderless Rsa

Another useless tender to a comrade, all you need is integrate the health system to the home affairs system so as to automatically record births. In this day and age you still rely on the manual process of people taking time to walk in with vulnerable infants 🤷‍♂️

Should we even be surprised.....

Banana Republic

Now this is systemic failure of the system. Start back in 1994 and work from the you will those hope obtained citizenship by corruption. This is not going to be an easy task but it will be worth it HomeAffairsSA homeaffairsZA

All lies. Children are delivered and registered in the hospitals even before they are discharged.

uLeratoPillay1 Deport all illegal foreigners!!! PutSouthAficansFirst

What do we really know vele?

Children born in state hospitals to undocumented mothers automatically become documented?

This is just another useless minister for years

Commander_C007 How will they know if borders are left opened and homeaffairs officials are selling ID's.

How come it doesn't know the number? If those were born here it easy to know the number because they are in the system of home affairs.

Vote ANC out
