The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Mr Njabulo Nzuza, will on Thursday, 01 October 2026, embark on a Late Registration of Birth Outreach Programme in Mamelodi, Tshwane.

The programme forms part of the Department’s efforts to accelerate service delivery and bring essential services closer to communities. A key highlight of the visit will be the official handover of birth certificates to successful applicants who have completed the Late Registration of Birth (LRB) process. This initiative forms part of the Department’s ongoing campaign to end invisibility and ensure that all citizens are accounted for on the National Population Register.

The programme will also include uncollected identity document drive ahead of the upcoming local government elections. Several government departments are expected to support the initiative, underscoring government’s commitment to restoring dignity, improving access to essential services and ensuring that no child or adult remains undocumented.
