Additionally, according to The Citizen, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza issued a stern warning to officials who work with undocumented foreigners to provide them with South African identity documents. This warning follows the recent sentencing of former Home Affairs official Judy Zuma, who received an effective 12-year prison sentence for her involvement in a syndicate that delivered fraudulent passports to foreign nationals who did not qualify for the documents.
