The fight over the future of Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders is getting ugly. 👇
“There was no warrant of arrest, and at first the officials did not present their official IDs,” says Jodwana.
“I was not present when the affidavit was commissioned,” she says. Jodwana was not given a copy of the affidavit she made. Asked to comment on the above, the DHA responded: “We do not disclose details of our ongoing investigations.”previously reported, the ZEP system has been in operation in various forms since 2009, allowing Zimbabweans to live, work, study and conduct business in SA.
Chitando is representing one of these groups, Zepha, though he has been particularly outspoken in the media about the likely fate of Zimbabweans in SA. The DHA wants ZEP holders to apply for work visas using the so-called critical skills list, which outlines those skills needed in SA. “I get asked by Zimbabweans all the time whether they should apply for one of these visas, and I answer ‘no, because you will not get one’.
