I’m so stoked. The South African Department of Home Affairs obviously believe that pinching yourself is not enough. They have very cleverly released an incredibly useful new online verification service, which let’s you type in your ID number and find out if you’re dead or alive! I know – how awesome?

Of course I’m not joking! It says, “To verify your ID status, please enter your ID number.” Brilliant!

Check it out!

It’s about time – I had a feeling I was living some kind of dream – and now I find out everything is REAL! I popped in my ID number and look!

I’M ALIVE!!!

Wow! Thank God for that!

It’s SUCH a useful tool. Very handy if you find yourself at the receiving end of a witch hunt, with the community out to get you, claiming you are some kind of a demon.

Does that ever happen to you? I get it a lot. Well don’t panic – that’s what Home Affairs is there for!

Simply take them (when they catch you) to this website, type in your ID number and show them the result.

Done!

Unless, of course, you are dead….?
