In a bid to assist residents of Eesterus, home affairs officials arrived late this morning to help locals obtain their identity documents. In despite the positive impact, the community&#8217;s reception has been less than enthusiastic. Tensions arose as locals expressed frustration over the officials&#8217; late arrival, causing some residents to queue hours before the service was officially set to begin. Several community members voiced their thoughts and emotions regarding the matter.\u00a0 Officials began to assist the community and ensured that most of them received quality service despite what had happened earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Residents were encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to complete their documentation quickly and efficiently. The Home Affairs team offered guidance and process applications on-site, ensuring that those in need of their ID cards can access these important services locally. The initiative was a success and some of the residents of Eersterust were satisfied, while others felt that they should have accommodated everyone else including those who work and are unable to go to the home affairs due to work purposes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>FIELD REPORTER: CYNTHIA MAIMI<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOTO BY: CYNTHIA MAIMI &nbsp; BY: KELEBOGILE RAKGOLELA &amp; CYNTHIA MAIMI On the 4th of February 2025 Home Affairs officials visited the Eersterust Civic Centre to assist community members with their identity document needs.
