Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza will today lead an ID Campaign and high impact outreach programme in Escourt, in KwaZulu-Natal, aimed at bringing key government services closer to communities.
The initiative is focused on ensuring that all qualifying residents have access to important civic documents, particularly identity documents, ahead of the upcoming Local Government Elections.
According to the Department of Home Affairs, the programme seeks to ensure that no eligible community member is left behind, recognising that IDs are more than documents, but “a gateway to dignity, opportunity and full participation in society”.
Working alongside the Electoral Commission of South Africa, the outreach programme will include voter education to help residents understand the importance of participating in shaping the future of their communities.
The campaign comes as South Africa marks 30 years of its Constitution, highlighting the continued commitment to protecting the rights of citizens and ensuring that all people, particularly those in underserved areas, are able to fully exercise their democratic rights.
The event will take place at Phangwini Community Hall in Estcourt on Friday, 17 April 2026, starting at 09:00. – SAnews.gov.za
