Ordinary folk are suffering because Home Affairs appears incompetent when, in fact, it is exceptionally good when money is changing hands, and X users are pissed off.

A fierce debate erupted on social media following news that Home Affairs officials facilitated the fraudulent issuing of SA documents amounting to millions of rand: X users had this to say:
@ZungulaVuyo The State must pursue treason charges against all Home Affairs officials who have facilitated the fraudulent issuing of SA documents. The State is compromised, and individuals who fraudulently obtained documents may be shaping policy, influencing procurement, and advancing agendas not aligned with our national interests.
@Mosa1652 They must close down all visas and IDs procured by foreign nationals, and the verification process should be done – not exactly like how they handle ghost workers, but something like that.
@ktsarita The people who were part of the corruption must also be arrested.
@HigherEduGovZA Declare all qualifications null and void on all qualifications obtained on a fraudulent study visa. These people are leading society and were party to a crime.
@Delusional_SA I was a teacher in Limpopo. A Zimbabwean bought a South African ID and got promoted at the school I was working as a departmental head. I felt so humiliated that I even resigned because priority was given to him.
@AkhumoKay SASSA must be next because there are a lot of Lesotho and Swaziland folks collecting grants after claiming SA citizenship and obtaining IDs/birth certificates.
@kenkatlo South Africa has a serious problem caused by South African government officials. We need to deal first with officials before foreigners because foreigners get access to all this because of government officials.
@Newzroom405 Deputy Home Affairs Minister Njabulo Nzuza says the officials implicated in issuing fraudulent documents have issued about 2 000 visas. He says the government knows these people and will revoke their visas after completing the reviews.
@LadyM1306 Every employee at Home Affairs must be investigated. South Africa is sold by South Africans.
@KHB_Ntuli I know it’s crazy, but the best thing to do is to demand that the whole department be closed until they give us a clear turnaround strategy. As citizens, we have power.
@Sunflowerreal Lifestyle audits on all of them. There’s one who I saw driving a brand-new Wildtrak, and right there I just saw trouble.
@lindanisim3822 True, this country is brought down by South Africans. Focusing on foreigners while turning a blind eye to the root of the matter is just a waste of time.
@Miso1291974 Even our own sisters are selling us. Fake marriages for money? Have you guys seen the Moja Love show ‘Fake Marriage’?
