While we I do appreciate the Joburg E - passport initiative,It really boggles my mind as to why the powers that be honestly chose &still chose the use of the American dollar as payment,when they clearly know here in South Africa we use the rand.I stand to be corrected but if this is meant to listen to our voices,please reconsider the currency.Otherwise,the move is very genuine.Finally,I request,that,this be also rolled out to Durban.Thank you
