DURBAN - Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber has confirmed that the old green ID book has had its day.
He says it's time to move on because the green book is susceptible to fraud and forgery.
The department will stop production by the end of this year.
Around 18 million people are still using the ID books.
On the South Africa Morning soapbox, we are asking if you still have a green ID book and is so, why haven't you changed to a smart ID card yet?
eNCA reporter Nkosikhona Malinga-Mnisi is in Durban giving people a say on our soapbox.
