Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has offered South Africans stuck abroad a one-way ticket home after their passports expired.
The minister also revealed that his department was sitting with 300 000 identity documents that have not been collected by South Africans.
But the minister said they cannot grant the passports to people stuck abroad because the rules of the International Civil Aviation Authority do not allow this, to prevent fraud. Motsoaledi said they had received complaints from people and MPs about individuals whose passports have expired.
