The Department of Home Affairs has announced that its systems are back online on Wednesday, following a power failure on Tuesday.
In a statement, the department said on Tuesday that it has
experienced a power failure at its backoffice in Pretoria, meaning that Smart
ID Cards and passports could not be issued without first being cleared in this
backoffice.
Spokesperson for the Minister of Home Affairs, Siya Qoza,
said its all systems go at Home Affairs offices as power has been restored.
‘’Power was restored early this morning [Wednesday] with
technicians confirming it is all systems go after working around the clock
overnight to fix the problem speedily, to minimize impact on citizens.’’
‘’The Department would like to thank citizens and clients
for patience and understanding,’’ added Qoza.
