The department of home affairs has been targeted by the Democratic Alliance for being inconsistent in the past ten years as they have changed the person in the post of Director-General a number of times, and are therefore inconsistent.

The post of the former Director-General became vacant in October last year, leaving a vacuum in the department. An acting Diretor-General has been appointed.

However, DA spokesperson on home affairs, Sandy Kalyan, believes there is, “a dire need to bring stability to the department of home affairs.”

Kalyan says, “Granted, some recommendations may require some time to implement. However, the fact that the task team’s final report has found poor leadership and management topping the list of issues needing attention.”

A task team has identified the problems and the recommendations are at the disposal of Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and her department.

Kalyan says that the, “ball is now in the minister’s court.”
