Speaker, the ANC welcomes the introduction of the new unabridged birth certificates, which contain details of both parents as well as added security features that will make it difficult to duplicate. This initiative forms part of the ANC government's commitment to eradicating identity book theft and fraudulent registration of births through late registration, which is one of the problems that the government wants to rectify, as well as securing the identity and citizenship of its people.
The ANC commends the ANC government for issuing these unabridged birth certificates as they will enhance turnaround time to ensure efficient, secure and reliable service delivery. Thank you.
