'Home affairs official who defaced birth certificate acted improperly,' says Mkhwebane.
Mkhwebane found the child had SA citizenship because his father was South African and said that home affairs had erred by not investigating the complaint.
This is in terms of a directive issued by the public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, her office said on Friday. The child’s father complained after his son’s birth certificate was revoked by the Lebowakgomo home affairs office without reasons being provided. The father alleged home affairs issued the birth certificate on January 5 2015 but when he approached Sassa to apply for a child support grant he was referred back to home affairs to confirm the validity of the certificate.
