‘Home Affairs On Wheels’ coming to select City municipal halls

Published on

 

The City of Cape Town has availed municipal facilities to the National Department of Home Affairs (DHA) as they are bringing their services to various vulnerable communities in Cape Town.

 

The Home Affairs On Wheels-initiative will be at City facilities in Fisantekraal, Ocean View, Masiphumelele, Morning Star, Gugulethu and Dunoon between 26 August and 30 August 2024.

 

Residents will be able to do birth registrations (within 30 days from the birth event), Smart ID Card applications (first and re-issues) and collections, as well as passport applications on these days.

 

This initiative forms part of DHA’s High Impact Outreach Programmes that are rolled out in provinces across the country.

 

The City of Cape Town will be providing the venues, electricity, ablution facilities and security on these days to assist with a successful outreach in these communities.

‘We are pleased to collaborate with the Department of Home Affairs to bring these vital services to communities close to their homes. In the end, the City is striving to assist our residents as best we can, and in this case, we are happy to make City facilities available to ensure these events go ahead. We thank Home Affairs for taking this initiative and for bringing their much needed services to our communities in Cape Town. I encourage residents to make use of this opportunity and to spread the word about these events to friends and family who they know are in need of the services. These services will be available within communities, meaning residents will not need to spend money on travelling to a Home Affairs office further afield,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys.
