Home Affairs office in Centurion moved due to safety concerns

The department says the current Centurion offices will close on Friday, and the new office will be open to the public next Monday.

During the closure, mobile units will be stationed at the existing site to assist clients with Smart ID Card applications and collections only.

The lack of secure on-site parking previously forced clients to park on the street, exposing them and their vehicles to criminals.

The department also raised concerns over the selling of queue positions by some individuals.

“Our teams in Gauteng are working hard to ensure minimal disruption during this move," said Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber

"We are transitioning from an outdated and unsuitable facility to a modern, well-equipped environment that allows Home Affairs to serve people with dignity," he added.
