CAPE TOWN， Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- The South African government on Wednesday denied claims that it has introduced compulsory DNA testing requirements for registration of new births.


The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) said it has noted a hoax article in the social media purported to emanate from an interview with Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba about the introduction of compulsory DNA testing requirements for registration of new births.


"We wish to categorically state that no such interview was ever conducted by the minister with what appears to be a fake website，" DHA spokesperson Thabo Mokgola said.


He said the department will utilise official communication platforms to create awareness around any changes in policy should there be such pronouncements， including those made by the DHA.


"To provide clarity on the matter， in 2014， we announced new Births and Deaths Regulations. In cases of children born out of wedlock， we have been aware of cases where single mothers get involved in relationships with non-South African men and approach Home Affairs offices to record these persons as fathers of their children even if they are not the biological fathers，" the spokesperson said in a statement.


This is then used by such persons to address the DHA for permanent residence status in the country due to the right that children have to be cared for by their parents， he said.


To this end， and where such a circumstance arises， the DHA now requires the results of paternity tests， and this is applicable to non-South Africans， Mokgola said.


Similarly， where there is an application by a third party to substitute his particulars as the father of a child and to effectively remove the recorded father's name in the birth certificate， the regulations now provide that a paternity test must be submitted by the applicant， according to Mokgola.


Mokgola added that in instances where the parents of a child born out of wedlock are both recorded in the system but their status is unmarried， and if they wish to change their marital status on the child's profile， the law provides that this may be done without a requirement of a paternity test.




TOKYO， Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Tokyo chapter， Nobuteru Ishihara， said he would resign on Thursday along with other senior members of the party's branch， to account for the loss of an LDP-backed candidate in Sunday's gubernatorial election.


Sources close to the matter said Thursday that Ishihara， who retained his portfolio as economics minister in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday， and secretary general of the chapter， Shigeru Uchida， would step down following LDP-backed former Iwate Governor Hiroya Masuda losing to Yuriko Koike in the race to become Tokyo governor.


"We have to accept the will of the people. I am painfully aware of my responsibility，" Ishihara was quoted as telling a press briefing on the matter earlier.


Abe had described the loss of Masuda to Koike， an LDP member who ran as an independent in the election race， as blow to the party， but offered his congratulations and showed his willingness Thursday to work with her on upcoming issues pertaining to the nation's economy and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the pair's first meeting since Koike became governor.


Ishihara is the son of former outspoken Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara， who was responsible for straining ties between Tokyo and Beijing for using public funds to supposedly "purchase" some islands owned by China and central to an ongoing territorial dispute between both countries.


Nobuteru Ishihara had previously thrown his name into the ring as an LDP candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial election in Tokyo， but performed poorly and the top post was thereafter won by the recently disgraced Yoichi Masuzoe.


Masuzoe resigned as governor recently following a massive funding scandal and has been replaced by Koike.
