handcuffsNews24 reports that a 35-year-old Zimbabwean national has been arrested after he was caught allegedly authorising official Department of Home Affairs (DHA) documents, including asylum documents.

On Friday, Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) officers responded to a complaint about a man illegally authorising documents outside the Department of Home Affairs in Centurion. "The officers apprehended the suspect, and he was searched. They found him with a Department of Home Affairs stamp and forged documents," a statement by TMPD indicated. Following questioning by metro officers, the suspect took them to premises that he described as his offices. He apparently said this was where he would print the documents found on his person. During a search of the premises, the officers found two more official DHA stamps, forged asylum documents, passports for different countries, temporary South African documents and forged pay slips. They also found a Dell laptop and two Canon printers. The suspect is due to appear in court soon on charges of fraud and forgery.
