In the video, young girls outside the Benoni Department of Home Affairs are waiting to have their pictures for their IDs taken. The video then cuts to show the inside of the booth, which is a small mkhukhu in which barely three people can fit. Inside is a young man smiling as the booth operator takes a picture of him.

According to AutoTrader, taking pictures for official identification documents like IDs and driver's licenses at internet cafés with cameras or photo shops is always recommended.

If you want to take your picture, follow the guidelines to ensure the image is usable. Once the image is taken, you have to print the image at a photo shop or on your own if you have a printer. Watch the video here:
