Source: News24, 21/01/2021

Instead, births are to be `registered at the health facilities where they occur. These are the 156 health facilities with Home Affairs office presence,` Minister Aaron Motsoaledi noted in a statement.

Highlighting the alarming number of Covid-19 infections occurring at the department`s more than 400 offices across the country, as well as the difficulty in enforcing Covid-19 protocols in large crowds, the Minister said the decision had been `forced by circumstances`.

The services the minister confirmed as suspended pending further notice include applications for IDs, passports and marriage certificates.
