QUESTION 1079 / NW1199E

DATE OF PUBLICATION: Friday, 01 April 2011

INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 10 of 2011
Mr S G Thobejane (ANC) to ask the Minister of Home Affairs:



Why does her Department not apply the use of the character Š in capital with regard to Sepedi names in line with section 6(2) of the Constitution?



NW1199E



REPLY:



The Department of Home Affairs implemented a project throughout the country, which incorporated all special characters, including this one. The project went live during the third week of March 2011. Therefore, all new applications received, in respect of birth, marriage, and death certificates will have these characters, when the certificates are printed.
