Home Affairs hit by nationwide outage
The Department of Home Affairs says most of its online services are offline due to a cable breakage.
In a statement on Friday, the department said the “unfortunate incident” was caused by a cable breakage that connects to the State Information Technology Agency (SITA).
“Due to this network outage, Home Affairs services are currently limited to passport collections; and handwritten death certificates will be issued for burial purposes, with computerised certificates to be issued when the system is back online,” said spokesperson Siya Qoza.
“We are waiting for SITA to give us information on the estimated time of restoration of the system.”
It is unclear when the issue will be resolved.
