forms at the Department of Home Affairs will soon be a thing of the
past, with the introduction of live capturing, the smart card and
other aspects of the modernisation of the much-maligned department.

Affairs) will take a segment of the population out of the offices and
allow them access to an online platform where they can make
applications and pay for them.

Despite the large number of arrivals, more work needs to be done.

Pretoria — The Department of Home Affairs has introduced a new
application system at its Marabastad centre in Pretoria, to ease the
process for foreign nationals applying for permits and asylum documents.
Introduced at the end of January, the newly introduced box system has
brought some relief to foreign nationals as they no longer have to
stand in long queues to get their documents processed. It has also put
a halt on corrupt activities. SA
