Cape Town residents could soon have access to a new, centrally located Home Affairs office, with the City preparing to seek Council approval to lease space at the Civic Centre for an appointment-only facility operated by the National Department of Home Affairs.
The proposal, expected to be tabled before Council in March 2026, as noted by the City , follows an approach from the Ministry of Home Affairs to establish a dedicated office within the Civic Centre on Hertzog Boulevard in the CBD.
The initiative forms part of broader cooperation between the City of Cape Town and national government aimed at improving access to essential civic services.
