MBABANE – The Ministry of Home Affairs is set to conduct a mop-up exercise in the Manzini Region from the May 27 to July 16.
This exercise is a move aimed at reinforcing citizen documentation and legal identity tracking. The initiative is to make sure that there is proper documentation of vital life events for residents of the Manzini Region.
The purpose of the exercise is to address inconsistencies and delays in registering vital events to streamline administrative processes, concerning late birth, marriage, and death certificate registrations.
This was revealed in a statement released by the Ministry alerting all residents of the Manzini Region to prepare for the up-coming exercise.
The Ministry will also assist residents with permits, citizenship, and asylum seekers applications. This will help in providing support to individuals navigating complexities of legal documentation statuses.
The exercise will ensure that all residents within the region have a recognized legal status, by identifying stateless individuals.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has made the registration process simple and accessible to all. Local registration centres have been set up across the Chiefdoms, staffed with trained personnel who are ready to assist residents in completing the necessary documentation.
