The crippled Department of Home Affairs

Is the Department of Home Affairs in cahoots with the Democratic Alliance ("DA")? My mother (close on 100 years of age) passed away 6 months ago. The Department of Home Affairs issued an erroneous death certificate indicating that my mother was married. She was a widow for approximately 31 years. I have not been able to receive any sensible reaction from the Department of Home Affairs to my numerous ***. The DA party, through the minister of the Department of Home Affairs, is in charge of the Department of Home Affairs. I deem it possible that the DA party has crippled the Department of Home Affairs and it seems that they do not hesitate to tell lies. The head office of the Department of Home Affairs incorrectly states that they have no records that I ever visited the local Department of Home Affairs requesting that my mother's death certificate must be corrected. The local Department of Home Affairs received all the required documentation during April 2026 during my visit to them. The statement of the head office of the Department of Home Affairs also does not reconcile with the fact that they used erroneous information on their system to issue the death certificate of my mother. The DA states that they are not involved in government and that I must approach the Department of Home Affairs. Meanwhile the Department of Home Affairs is not providing any relevant reaction. The DA is part of the Government of National Unity. What a chaos the to and fro of the DA and the Department of Home Affairs. It seems that the Department of Home Affairs is avoiding their responsibility in correcting their errors. It appears that the Department of Home Affairs is preoccupied with the issue of identity cards and immigration issues. The problem through all of this negligence is that I am not able to comply with the prescriptions of the Administration of Estates Act to report my mother's deceased estate. The DA should seriously review their public marketing.
