Government is developing two digital ID apps for South Africa at the same time

• Government is developing two digital ID apps for South Africa at the same time: The Citizen Super App and MyMzansi are two separate digital ID apps under development, with the Citizen Super App being developed by the State IT Agency (SITA) and MyMzansi being developed by a team in the Presidency.
• The development of the digital ID apps is part of a broader effort to introduce digital IDs in South Africa, with the Department of Home Affairs publishing draft amendments in May that would introduce biometric-linked digital credentials.
• The launch of the digital ID apps is expected to improve access to government services for South Africans, with the apps promising to provide a unified, secure platform for citizens to access government services seamlessly and support authentication for online government services.
