Bring what applies to your route: Police affidavit / case number: gov.za says affidavits are often required when replacing lost or stolen documents such as an ID. Get one at any police station. Form BI-9: completed at Home Affairs if fingerprints were not previously submitted (Western Cape Government guidance). Payment: R140 for the Smart ID re-issue.

Official services currently include Smart ID re-issues for lost, stolen or damaged cards, and green ID book to Smart ID replacements. See dha.gov.za/banks . ADVERTISEMENT Capitec Bank and Standard Bank allow walk-ins at participating branches (no appointment). Application at the bank takes about 15 minutes, according to DHA. DHA fee is R140. Your bank may charge a convenience fee. Collect at the same bank branch where you applied. You must apply in person — nobody else can apply for you. First-time IDs, passports, name changes and complex civic services are not available at banks in this phase. Option B — Home Affairs office Use a live-capture office for a Smart ID card. Photos are taken digitally at equipped offices, so you usually do not bring passport photos for the Smart ID itself. Check whether your office uses live capture and which documents it wants that day. Bring your police affidavit and case number if the ID was lost or stolen. Complete Form BI-9 if required. Pay the R140 re-issue fee. Have your photo and fingerprints captured. Collect in person when notified — ask the office about collection rules when you apply.

Nairobi traders closed shops and faced tear gas while protesting KRA's KSh3.2m consolidated-cargo benchmark. Here is what the rule means. NAIROBI, Kenya — 28 August 2026, 12:01 PM EAT: Police fired tear gas at small-scale traders marching through central Nairobi on Friday, while hundreds of businesses closed during a protest against the Kenya Revenue Authority's revised consolidated-cargo benchmark. The verified street action turns an announced shutdown into a live disruption, but it does not mean every Nairobi business or the whole country has closed. What is KRA's KSh3.2 million cargo benchmark? It is a minimum-yield reference used in a simplified clearance process for consolidated cargo, not a flat tax bill charged to every trader or container. Actual liability depends on the goods, their value and classification. Traders may request verification or separate their consignments. What happened during the Nairobi protest A Reuters witness reported that police used tear gas to disperse protesters and that hundreds of businesses closed in central Nairobi. Reuters said some traders shut their shops to join the action, while others closed for safety. Police had not responded to its request for comment at the time of publication. The first opened live report was published at 11:09 AM EAT. It said traders marched from Kamukunji through Moi Avenue toward Times Tower, briefly disrupting movement on Parliament Road and Kenyatta Avenue. Kenyans.co.ke documented placards, vuvuzelas and tear gas as the march moved through the central business district. The Eastleigh Voice reported that protesters gathered outside the National Archives and moved toward KRA headquarters to present their objections. Shops along Luthuli Avenue were among those that remained closed. The action was substantial but not a verified nationwide shutdown. Radio Generation Kenya found that Eastleigh was largely calm and shops there were open during the morning. Readers should distinguish confirmed CBD closures from broader claims about every market or town. The KSh3.2m figure is not a flat tax bill The dispute centres on a rise in the minimum-yield benchmark for a 40-foot container carrying general consolidated cargo, from KSh2.5 million to KSh3.2 million. That is a KSh700,000 increase, or 28 per cent. KRA's key clarification is that KSh3.2 million is a risk-management reference under the simplified clearance arrangement. It is not the amount automatically charged to every container, consolidator or individual trader. Citizen Digital's account of KRA's statement says actual customs value and tax liability still depend on the nature, value and classification of the goods.

ADVERTISEMENT The KSh3.2m figure is not a flat tax bill The dispute centres on a rise in the minimum-yield benchmark for a 40-foot container carrying general consolidated cargo, from KSh2.5 million to KSh3.2 million. That is a KSh700,000 increase, or 28 per cent. KRA's key clarification is that KSh3.2 million is a risk-management reference under the simplified clearance arrangement. It is not the amount automatically charged to every container, consolidator or individual trader. Citizen Digital's account of KRA's statement says actual customs value and tax liability still depend on the nature, value and classification of the goods. The arrangement exists because multiple small importers often combine goods in one container to reduce shipping and administrative costs. KRA uses the minimum-yield test to identify containers that can move through the simplified process with limited intervention, subject to its risk controls. The Standard reported that KRA linked the review to exchange-rate movements, freight costs and changes in Kenyan and East African Community tax rules. The authority also said tighter controls are intended to reduce undervaluation, under-declaration and revenue leakage. What affected importers can ask Customs to do KRA says traders are not locked into the simplified arrangement. An importer or consolidator who rejects it can request Customs verification so the container is assessed from its actual contents, correct customs value and tariff classification. ADVERTISEMENT The other stated option is de-consolidation. Goods can be separated into individual consignee parcels, allowing each importer to make a declaration and pay the taxes applicable to that shipment. The Star's report on the clarification confirms both routes. Before paying a clearing agent or consolidator, traders should ask for the customs entry, the declared transaction value, the tariff classification used, an itemised assessment and receipts for official payments. Those records help separate the KSh3.2 million screening benchmark from the liability attached to a trader's own goods. The safest practical questions are: Is the shipment being cleared through the simplified minimum-yield arrangement? What value and tariff classification were declared for the trader's goods? Is physical verification or individual declaration more suitable for the consignment? Which charges are official customs payments, and which are freight, storage or agent fees? Has KRA issued any later written direction changing the benchmark or transition terms? Why traders still oppose the change KRA's explanation corrects the claim that every container receives an automatic KSh3.2 million bill, but it does not settle the economic dispute. Traders say the higher reference point can raise clearance costs and squeeze businesses that use shared containers precisely because they cannot finance entire shipments alone.

Elections Monitoring South Africa Election Results: How to Read the Count . ADVERTISEMENT The MSME Alliance of Kenya had called for further talks before Friday's action. Traders from Kamukunji, Gikomba and Nyamakima said the revised level remained difficult for smaller businesses to absorb. Their position is an objection to the benchmark's effect, not proof that every importer will pay the same amount. There is also a one-day timing discrepancy in current reports. Reuters and some early Kenyan coverage describe the change as effective from 20 August. KRA's later clarification, reported by Citizen Digital, The Standard and The Star, states that the revised minimum yield took effect on 21 August after a one-month preparation period. XTRAfrica uses 21 August as the safer operational date while noting the difference. Kenya has seen tax changes move quickly from technical policy into street politics. XTRAfrica previously covered the government's decision to drop proposed taxes including the bread levy , later commemorations for people killed during anti-tax protests , and the wider fuel and debt pressures facing East African budgets . What to watch after the tear gas The next verified milestones are whether traders formally deliver their petition to KRA, whether police report arrests or injuries, and whether the authority offers a revised benchmark, transition relief or further technical guidance. As of 12:01 PM EAT, no authoritative nationwide closure, casualty total or withdrawal of the KSh3.2 million benchmark had been confirmed.

Patrick Muyaya rejects Kagame’s xenophobia claims, calling them propaganda to justify the M23 war. Congo’s unity and diversity remain its strength. Kinshasa- Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya has strongly rejected Rwanda’s accusations that Congolese people are “xenophobic,” describing the narrative as a propaganda tool used by Paul Kagame’s regime to justify aggression in eastern DRC. Speaking on RTNC and later echoed on his X account, Muyaya called for national unity behind President Félix Tshisekedi in the face of Rwanda’s proxy war through the M23 rebellion. “Congo Is Not Xenophobic” “Our enemies want to portray us as a xenophobic people, which we are not. We have learned to live together with our 450 ethnic groups,” Muyaya said, stressing that Congo’s diversity is its greatest strength. He reminded citizens that Congo’s unity is the only shield against foreign destabilization campaigns designed to divide the population. Kagame’s Plan Through M23 Muyaya accused Rwanda of using the M23 rebellion to impose a “fait accompli” in eastern Congo, seizing land and resources while disguising its aggression under false narratives. “It is important to understand that the plan of Rwanda, through its advanced brigade M23, is to establish a fait accompli. We are working to stop it,” he declared. He denounced Kagame’s regime for crimes in Rutshuru, stripping Congolese parents of free education, and trying to set up sham “justice commissions” while being the executioners themselves. Call for National Unity The spokesperson urged Congolese citizens to remain united and stand firm against manipulation: “The path to peace is difficult, but it requires unity. Our people must not give in to deceitful campaigns. They must know the government is with them and will do everything to free them from the grip of these killers.” Continue Reading Full Article DRC PEACE EFFORT Patrick Muyaya: Kagame’s Propaganda Won’t Divide Congo By Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Political Analyst Serge Kitoko Tshibanda Home Comment Sep 16, 2025 Jul 11, 2026 3 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: Kinshasa- Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya has strongly rejected Rwanda’s accusations that Congolese people are “xenophobic,” describing the narrative as a propaganda tool used by Paul Kagame’s regime to justify aggression in eastern DRC.

As Rwanda escalates its aggression, the Congolese government is rallying its people to resist propaganda and stand united.

In a move highlighting the complexities of international asylum agreements, RwandAir, the national airline of Rwanda, has rejected an offer from the United Kingdom to conduct flights aimed at removing migrants under a new asylum deal. This decision was made amidst apprehensions that participating in such an operation might tarnish the airline's reputation. Despite this setback, the refusal by the airline, a state-owned entity of Rwanda, has not hindered the progression of the UK's asylum strategy. The UK government's approach involves a comprehensive plan to manage irregular migration, with the anticipated "Safety of Rwanda Bill" playing a central role. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed confidence in the bill's ability to address legal challenges and facilitate the commencement of removal flights. Expected to receive final endorsement shortly, this legislation paves the way for a collaborative framework involving multiple operators for the execution of removal flights. In an unexpected twist, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) emerges as a pivotal participant in the asylum program. This partnership raises the possibility of utilizing military aircraft for deportations if commercial agreements falter. The Home Office, maintaining confidentiality regarding specific partnerships, acknowledges the MoD's significant role in the logistical aspects of migrant removals. The decision by RwandAir underscores the sensitivities and potential repercussions for carriers involved in such operations. Previous instances, such as the withdrawal of Mallorca-based Privilege Style from a similar agreement due to activist pressure, illustrate the challenges faced by airlines in balancing business operations with socio-political considerations. With the first removal flights to Rwanda anticipated in the coming months, the UK government may have to rely on its military resources as a contingency plan. This development emphasizes the multifaceted nature of implementing asylum policies, involving not just legal and political dimensions, but also the engagement of various stakeholders, including commercial and military aviation sectors.

Despite this setback, the refusal by the airline, a state-owned entity of Rwanda, has not hindered the progression of the UK's asylum strategy. The UK government's approach involves a comprehensive plan to manage irregular migration, with the anticipated "Safety of Rwanda Bill" playing a central role. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed confidence in the bill's ability to address legal challenges and facilitate the commencement of removal flights. Expected to receive final endorsement shortly, this legislation paves the way for a collaborative framework involving multiple operators for the execution of removal flights. ADVERTISEMENT In an unexpected twist, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) emerges as a pivotal participant in the asylum program. This partnership raises the possibility of utilizing military aircraft for deportations if commercial agreements falter. The Home Office, maintaining confidentiality regarding specific partnerships, acknowledges the MoD's significant role in the logistical aspects of migrant removals. ADVERTISEMENT The decision by RwandAir underscores the sensitivities and potential repercussions for carriers involved in such operations. Previous instances, such as the withdrawal of Mallorca-based Privilege Style from a similar agreement due to activist pressure, illustrate the challenges faced by airlines in balancing business operations with socio-political considerations. With the first removal flights to Rwanda anticipated in the coming months, the UK government may have to rely on its military resources as a contingency plan. This development emphasizes the multifaceted nature of implementing asylum policies, involving not just legal and political dimensions, but also the engagement of various stakeholders, including commercial and military aviation sectors.
