JOHANNESBURG – Drug-busting TV show _Sizokthola _recently uncovered potential corruption within the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

In the latest episode, which aired last Sunday, an immigration officer from the North West was profiled for allegedly working with drug dealers. She was also accused of selling South African identity documents for R50,000.

She was found to have screenshots of official DHA documents in her phone, and when asked, she said she was checking if papers for her husband’s friend were ready.

Additionally, she was found with multiple IDs, including two belonging to her, two belonging to her daughters, two of her husband, and one belonging to the woman who is currently married to her husband.

After the episode aired, viewers called on the DHA to take tough action against the immigration officer, venting their frustration with illegally obtained South African IDs.
