DO YOU HAVE A BLOCKED ID? ACT BEFORE 10 JULY 2026!
Government is assisting individuals whose identity documents (IDs) were blocked prior to November 2022 to have them unblocked, to safeguard the integrity of the National Population Register.
If your identity document is currently blocked, you must take immediate action to prevent its possible permanent cancellation by visiting any Department of Home Affairs (DHA) front office in person.
When reporting to a DHA office, you will be required to provide written and oral representations explaining why your blocked ID, which correctly reflects your personal particulars, should not have been blocked and therefore should not be cancelled.
Citizens have until 10 July 2026 to submit their representations in person, together with all relevant supporting documentation.
Supporting documents may include an original birth certificate or handwritten birth certificate, original clinic card or confirmation of birth, copy of a hospital register or proof of birth, parents’ IDs or reference books, a death certificate, or any other document that confirms your identity or legal status.
Failure to submit the required supporting documents within this six-week period will result in the Department of Home Affairs proceeding with the cancellation of your identity number without further notice.

A full bundle of court papers linked to the summons of Major-General Feroz Khan has been released, revealing close ties and dealings with tobacco businessman Mohammad Sayed and others.
Key allegations in the documents include:
• Claims that Khan and Sayed discussed active police investigations and a proposed SAPS-branded face mask tender during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Chats showing Khan asking Sayed to urgently provide mask samples and pricing ahead of a meeting with someone who could “make it happen”.
• Screenshots of conversations between Julius Malema and Sayed relating to questions prepared for Cele regarding his alleged relationship with convicted drug lord Timmy Marimuthu.
• WhatsApp messages showing questions later sent to then Police Minister Bheki Cele by former EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi were first drafted by Khan before being turned into a parliamentary-style letter.
• Allegations that Sayed funded former Ekurhuleni city manager Imogen Mashazi’s R3.35 million private jet trip to London, with assistance from Khan.
•The papers also contain WhatsApp exchanges in which Sayed and Khan made threatening and hostile remarks about anti-crime activist and broadcaster Yusuf Abramjee following his reporting on the illicit tobacco trade.
The disclosures are expected to intensify scrutiny around political influence, interference in policing matters, illicit tobacco networks, and links between senior SAPS officials, politicians and business figures.
Khan is expected to appear before the Madlanga Commission on 1 July 2026.
