A 20-year-old, Kaipandjarua Tjiposa from Gam, is appealing to the government to intervene and assist her in getting the necessary identification documents after spending her entire life without a birth certificate or national identity document.
Tjiposa says she was raised by her uncle, who died in 2021.
The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS), Lucia Iipumbu, has urged employees across the Ministry to strengthen service delivery and put citizens at the centre of their work.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security continues to urge the public to collect their identity documents, which are lying idle at their offices around the country.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security started with its outreach programme for the distribution of national documents in the Kavango East Region.
The programme aims to issue a national document to people in outlying areas who face challenges travelling to Rundu for services.
Some residents of Freedom Land in Windhoek have once again raised their complaints about a lack of national identity documents, which they say prevents them from accessing government social grants.
They also want to be given ample time to settle their water bills instead of being cut off.
