The Zimbabwe Permit Holders Association says it has not withdrawn its court challenge against the government’s decision to discontinue the Zimbabwe Special Permit.

Africa Amity NPC to continue challenging Department of Home Affairs decision to discontinue Zimbabwe Special Permits.Africa Amity NPC to continue challenging Department of Home Affairs decision to discontinue Zimbabwe Special Permits.

This comes after one of the applicants, African Amity NPC, withdrew due to intimidation. The South African government discontinued the special permit meant to regularise the stay of Zimbabweans in the Country.There are fears that this move will affect thousands of Zimbabweans who relied on the permits. The government says its doors remain open for constructive engagement with the affected Zimbabwean nationals.

Attorney for the Association, Sindiso Sibanda says, “It is very strange that now we are seeing this in the papers in a distorted manner that says Africa Amity and ZEP have withdrawn the case. We should state categorically that the case has not been withdrawn by ZEP.” In a letter sent by the Department of Home Affairs to Africa Amity, on 31 December 2021 stated that the exemptions granted to Zimbabweans was and has always been a temporary measure pending the improvement of the economic situation in Zimbabwe.DHA’s Director-General, Livhuwani Tommy Makhode, says that between 2008 and 2009 over 400 000 asylum seekers came to South Africa seeking asylum and majority of them were Zimbabwean nationals.

The Department, therefore gave Zimbabwean nationals a 12 month period to apply for visas set out in the Immigration Act of 2002 as the DHA set out to discontinue extensions of exemptions.

It's SA not Zim

There is no job creation after all Zimbabweans are out of this country. How many premises are getting empty right now? Where are the job creators to fill up those places and employ Instead of chasing away foreigners let them go and look for jobs.

I think SABC, eNCA, Media24 and All that you are captured and you have all teamed up against Patriotic South Africans, South Africans in All corners want All Zimbos and illegal immigrants gone, why are you giving them attention? But it's fine ANC will loose power in 2024 for that

Well will meet in court They think this country owes them citizenship

Lool palpitations elsewhere 👌

“Job creation” is just an ANC election campaign slogan, these permits should’ve never been issued if they’re serious about creating jobs, we have the highest unemployment rate in the world but foreigners are happily employed in our country VoetsekANC VoetsekZimbabweans

Why are they so entitled?
