Exciting news for undocumented foreigners with ID cards as the EFF’s latest move has ANC on edge.
As the upcoming general elections loom, the EFF, a major player in South African politics, is making waves by pushing for identity documents for foreign nationals. While the idea of inclusivity is at the forefront, there’s a stir over allegations of the EFF strong-arming home affairs officials. This has sparked concerns about the party’s influence over administrative processes and how it might affect the fairness of elections.
Critics are calling out the reported bullying of officials, saying it could jeopardize the fairness of the ID issuance process. They argue that political parties shouldn’t be pressuring government institutions responsible for crucial tasks like giving out identity documents.

The timing of all this just before the elections adds a twist. Some see it as a smart move to broaden the party’s support base, possibly swaying election results. On the flip side, there’s a camp arguing that helping foreigners get IDs aligns with human rights and inclusivity principles.
This whole EFF plan is causing quite a fuss, shining a spotlight on the tightrope walk between advocating for marginalized groups and letting government institutions do their thing independently. As people debate, the bigger questions about how this move might impact elections and the relationship between political parties and the government are still up in the air.
