The whole question
I have tried to apply for an ID at Home Affairs several times, but all my attempts have been unsuccessful because they need a copy of my mother s ID. The problem is that I don t know who my mother is because I was raised by my father. I have also tried to approach Home Affairs with my birth certificate and school records but without success. What should I do?
