Migration tops agenda as Home Affairs, KZN traditional leaders meet
Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba is expected to meet with Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini and traditional leaders in Nongoma today to discuss ways of improving services.
The department says traditional leaders play an important role in their communities.
It wants to see how to better roll out a number of programmes that are dependent on communities having access to relevant information.
Spokesperson, Mayihlome Tshwete says these include compliance when it comes to registering newborns within 30 days of birth and encouraging people to switch to the new smart ID cards.
