#3 It's interesting that many young woman in South
Africa who apply to the Deptartment of home Affairs for documents find that they have been mysteriously classified as 'married'. The name 'Muhammed' sometimes appears on the fake marriage certificate. The corrupt Department has been raking in bribes to wangle citizenship for these Muhammeds and others, many apparently from Asia. The will to tackle the corruption is noticeably absent and the Department cheerfully continues to rake in the cash and to deny the young victims their identities as genuine South Africans. Their lives have to put on hold because when they try to get identity documents they are told that nothing can be done about it until they are 'divorced'.

I'm convinced that the first destination of Muhammed and friends on arrival at Johannesburg International Airport would have been the Department of Home Affairs.

Welcome to the 'New South Africa'.
