Mzansi has a good laugh at registered ID names
Your name stays with you for life...
There are many things that South Africans can laugh through, even if it is a touchy or sensitive topic.
One of the most recent things that has Mzansi laughing out loud is the registered names of some South Africans.
Some names were chosen by parents as English names, while others are names that were botched by Home Affairs during the birth certificate registration.

We cannot lay blame because, with handwritten forms that are submitted, it could be that someone captured the information incorrectly because the writing was not legible.
But that's a story for another day.
However, it is good to mention that if you wanted to, you could change your name at Home Affairs too.
Three women who participated in the trend of a man whose name is 'Kilometre' shared their registered names on TikTok.
The first woman, whose parents named her 'Relax', said that this is her only name and professed that parents can be cruel.
