LEBOGANG Amanda Malete alleges that she’s been declared dead by Home Affairs while she’s very much alive.

The 29-year-old woman from Protea Glen, Soweto, was stunned when she received a call from an insurance company in 2021 regarding a claim made in her name.

Upon discovering that Home Affairs had her listed as dead since 2021 due to natural causes, Amanda shared her disbelief with Daily Sun.

“Back in 2021, I lost my ID in Thembisa. I suspect someone found it, used it to add me on their insurance policy, and later attempted to claim in my name. My mother was the one who received a call inquiring about my existence, to which she confirmed that I was still alive. That’s how we learned about the fraudulent insurance claim,” Amanda said.

She has made numerous attempts to rectify her status at Home Affairs, all to no avail.

“I was even asked to present my baptism certificate as proof of my identity and that I’m alive. Unfortunately, that led nowhere,” she recounted.

This has severely impacted Amanda’s life. She couldn’t vote, pursue further studies, seek employment, and essentially move forward with her life.
