Citizens who had applied for their smart identification (ID) cards or passports at certain banks before the lockdown was implemented in March, will now be able to collect those documents from the banks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has announced. During a media briefing to outline the additional home affairs services which resumed as part of Alert Level 2 of the lockdown, Home Affairs Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi further said the eHomeAffairs portal would remain deactivated as new applications are still not accepted in the current level of the lockdown.
