South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs (DHA) kicked off the mass roll-out of the Smart ID cards to 16-year-old youths and pensioners over 60 and above in the 28 earmarked departmental offices across the country.
"With effect from March this year, pensioners who are 60 years and above can start applying for the smart ID cards in accordance with their dates of birth. All other citizens are called upon to await invitations to apply.
“The rollout of the smart ID cards to all eligible South Africans will take a few years and the department accordingly makes an appeal for the public to exercise patience. The smart ID card is one of the major achievements of the 20 years of our democracy and remains part of government efforts to consolidate the restoration of citizenship, identity and dignity to all South Africans,” a statement released by DHA on its official site reads.
