Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has warned South Africans against selling their identities to undocumented foreigners. .
Motsoaledi told parliament on Wednesday South Africans who do so lose their status in the country, to be replaced by foreigners.
Home affairs officials colluded with undocumented foreigners to they could fraudulently obtain SA citizenship.
He confirmed the suspension of four home affairs officials from the Maponya Mall branch in Soweto.
The officials were linked to the alleged Pakistani passport kingpin arrested in Krugersdorp in March. The department received tip-offs from the public who alerted it to corrupt branches in their communities.
“Members of the public have come out in large numbers to tell us where corruption is taking place. We arrest, we don't stop. In the coming weeks we will continue to arrest more people, foreign nationals and South Africans involved in passport fraud and other forms of identity fraud.
