THE Democratic Alliance (DA) has accused the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) of opposing progress in government service delivery, following criticism of plans to expand Department of Home Affairs services to bank branches across South Africa.

DA national spokesperson Karabo Khakhau said the party was not surprised by the EFF’s stance on the initiative, which will allow South Africans to apply for Smart ID cards at selected bank branches.

“The Democratic Alliance is unsur-prised that the EFF stands against Home Affairs services rolling out to bank branches across South Africa, because the EFF is an enemy of progress,” Khakhau said.
