Hi, please advise. My wife is being returned as SASSA office because she is using a green ID book. She was told to go apply for a smart ID first and come back. I never heard of any deadline for using a green book ID. Is it no longer working?

BREAKING: President Trump reveals the details of his conversation with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the controversial red card call on star American player Folarin Balogun.
"All I did was ask for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled."
"I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible and nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine, nobody talks the referee's decision to red card."

Following engagement with tourism stakeholders on the rapid growth of short term rentals, the Department of Tourism has published a draft “Code of Good Practice for Short Term Rentals” for public comment.
Short term rentals refer to private homes, apartments or rooms offered to travellers for short stays through digital platforms or direct bookings. Their growth has expanded accommodation choice for visitors and created new income opportunities for property owners.
At the same time, the expansion of this segment has raised important questions around responsible hosting, community impact, safety standards and alignment with municipal regulations, particularly as the tourism accommodation sector continues to evolve.
The draft code sets out guidelines for hosts, guests and booking platforms, aiming to promote responsible participation while supporting a balanced tourism accommodation environment.
Tourism stakeholders, businesses and members of the public are invited to review the draft and submit written comments before 12 May 2026: https://t.co/1A0sVzKlD1
