The Democratic Alliance (DA) has written to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs to provide adequate oversight on urgent measures needed to deal with the ‘system offline’ issue which has caused chaos at Home Affairs offices across the country.
The Eastern and Western Cape have been particularly hard hit this week with widespread systems blackouts across these provinces, including the largest offices of Bellville, Barrack Street and Port Elizabeth. These have left South African citizens queuing for hours only to be turned away as the system is offline.
