Home Affairs clients who are queuing outside the offices in Tzaneen in Limpopo have urged Minister Malusi Gigaba to intervene to make sure that the offices are opened on Saturdays.
The Department of Home Affairs offices have not been operating for months now due a labour dispute around the weekend shift.
In Tzaneen, the situation has resulted in some people being turned away during the week due to long queues.
Mimmy Mhlongo is one of hundreds of people who are queuing there hoping that the offices will be opened.
She says, “I have arrived here at half past five … we want them to work on Saturdays so that they can help those who are working during the week and those who are going to school.”
