Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that on 15 September 2009 the organised crime unit of the South African Police Service raided a bogus Home Affairs office in Ghandi Square in Johannesburg (Gauteng) where dozens of illegally produced passports, identity documents and other Home Affairs documents were confiscated and a man who is believed to be the brother of an immigration official of the Department of Home Affairs was arrested;
2) also notes that thus far the Department of Home Affairs has dismissed over 120 personnel for corruption and fraud related to the production and sale of passports and identity documents;
3) takes this opportunity to congratulate the police and the Department of Home Affairs for their swift action in curbing corruption and fraud in the Department of Home Affairs; and
4) calls on the people of South Africa, particularly the personnel in the Department of Home Affairs, to report those among them who continue to produce and sell state documents and thus undermine the security of our nation.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
