DA calls for action against Home Affairs officials

The Democratic Alliance has called on the government to take swift action against what it calls incompetent officials, including the Director-General, in the Department of Home Affairs. DA spokesperson Sandy Kalyan says the auditor-general's damning report last week on the department's finances is a blight on the department's record. The department's explanation to the Home Affairs portfolio committee was unacceptable. Kalyan says it is clear that the Director-General is not up to the job and has no way of addressing the problems facing his department.
