Home Affairs has again been urged to ensure that the National Health Laboratory Service conducts free DNA tests for indigent South Africans where such a test is required to prove one’s South African citizenship.

This follows the Munyai twins’ struggle to be identified as South Africans. Their father struggled for three decades to obtain their birth certificates.

“They told him that as a man he couldn’t do birth certificates for us, so he was told to do DNA tests to prove paternity that indeed he didn’t steal us we were his children,” says Lebo Munyai. “Now I’m only waiting for my smartcard so that I can go do birth certificates for my children and also to go look for a job,” Lebo Munyai adds.
