Mpumalanga Premier David
Mabuza has received his new Smart ID Card from Home Affairs.
The process of the new Smart
Card took the provincial first citizen only three days to have it
As the first citizen of Mpumalanga, Premier
Mabuza afforded an opportunity by the Home Affairs Department last week to
apply for his Smart ID Card first, in order to allow other members of the
provincial legislature and senior citizens to follow.
The is one the step to
combat crime since it’s not easy to temper with.
Speaking to journalists
outside the Nelspruit Home Affairs Offices Thursday, Premier Mabuza said
receiving his smart card was an indication that the past was slowly fading
away.
“The process of applying is
very easy, I think people will like it,” said Mabuza.
He added that the provincial
government would certainly assist the Home Affairs Department achieve its
targets of issuing at least 100 000 Smart ID Cards in Mpumalanga by the end of March this year by
bringing the elderly to their offices.
“We feel that it should not
be difficult for old people to get their Smart ID Cards, we will assist Home
Affairs by providing a comfortable transport which will make it easy for them
to come in numbers,” said Mabuza.
Mabuza described the
experience as “freedom” and moving away from the painful past. He said he was
finally “liberated” and urged the citizens to “rubberstamp” the newly founded
democracy by getting their new Smart ID Cards.
The roll-out of the Smart ID
Cards in Mpumalanga
is currently taking place in Nelspruit, Witbank and in Middelburg. Piet Retief
and Ermelo offices expected to follow soon once they have been fully equipped.
