Herman Mashaba calls for probe

Mashaba recently urged the Department of Home Affairs to investigate a viral video showing Pakistani nationals holding South African IDs while campaigning for the ANC. The video, filmed under an ANC marquee, depicts the men encouraging others to register and vote for the party ahead of the November elections. While naturalised citizens can legally hold IDs, Mashaba questioned the legality and transparency of the process, citing concerns over potential corruption within Home Affairs. The event was a voter registration drive organised by the Pakistan South Africa Association alongside ANC Member of Parliament Jade Mananiso.
