The Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, will on Wednesday, 7 September 2016, meet with Lesotho nationals residing in Rustenburg, North West, as part of rounding up application processes for the Lesotho Special Permit. In June 2016, the Department of Home Affairs announced a three-month extension following a request by the Lesotho authorities to extend the closing date for applications to allow more time for Basotho nationals to apply. The Lesotho Government has deployed staff at various centres to facilitate birth registration and ID enrolment.
