Home affairs has two weeks to reinstate the ID number of a four-year-old child born in Polokwane and issue him with a new birth certificate.<\/p>\n

This is in terms of a directive issued by the public protector\u00a0 Busisiwe Mkhwebane, her office said on Friday.<\/p>\n

“The father and his child were improperly prejudiced by the conduct of the department,” spokesperson Oupa Segalwe said.<\/p>\n

The child\u2019s father complained after his son\u2019s birth certificate was revoked by the Lebowakgomo home affairs office without reasons being provided.<\/p>\n

“The father is a South African citizen. He had the child with a Zimbabwean national, who held a permanent residence permit … when the child was born on December 11 2014,” Segalwe said.<\/p>\n
