Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says that only 9000 out of the 178 0000 Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders have made representations about why the Department should not terminate their stay in South Africa.

He says this low number of applications has prompted the Department to give ZEP holders a further six month extension to regularise their stay in the country.According to a press statement issued by the Department, the report by Lubisi stated that the Departmental Advisory Committee agreed that it is advisable for the Minister to consider allowing Zimbabwean nationals a further six month extension in order to give them the opportunity to apply for visas.
