Home affairs official dismissed for fraudulently selling foreigner nationals passports

A Germiston official Morena David Motsamai,  was found guilty of gross misconduct in that he processed 13 passport applications for undeserving foreign nationals using particulars of South Africans. He was paid between R2 500 and R5 000 per application.

Motsamai pleaded guilty and did not appeal the sanction. He was subsequently dismissed.

The police are pursuing criminal charges against  Motsamai.

“All the fraudulently processed IDs and passports were flagged as fraudulent and were removed from home affairs records, thus rendering them useless and unusable by the people who acquired them.”

“In addition, police are tracking the South Africans who sold their identities and the foreign nationals who wanted to buy SA documents they do not deserve,” said the department.

None of the falsified documents were ever used.
