Home Affairs extends operating hours at some offices
The Department of Home Affairs has extended its operating hours for the duration of the school holidays.
This will see Home Affairs offices operate for an additional two hours a day over the next two weeks.
The extended hours during weekdays will start on Thursday.
Only limited services, such as applications for smart ID cards and passports, will be available.

Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says the extension is meant to meet the anticipated increase in the demand for ID and passport services during the winter school holidays.
“This extension is critical for service delivery. It is part of our many strategies to eliminate long queues at our offices while ensuring that people receive the enabling documents they apply for.
"We will ensure that every client that is inside these selected offices at the time of closing receives services.”
