Soil of Africa protests in Tshwane, demanding action on 300,000 blocked IDs due to a 2005 error, citing corruption and department inaction.
On October 6, 2025, the civic group Soil of Africa protested in Tshwane, demanding urgent action to unblock 300,000 identity documents still affected by a 2005 system error, despite a 2024 court ruling and the unblocking of over 2.1 million IDs.
The group claims corruption and extortion—such as demands for R50,000 or political party affiliation—have hindered resolution, impacting over 1.2 million people.
They accuse the Department of Home Affairs of ignoring prior appeals and are calling for a direct meeting with the minister.
The department pledged to restart work on outstanding cases but has not publicly responded to the protest.
