Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber has stepped in at the eleventh hour on Friday morning to extend the validity of the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP). This comes as the ZEP was meant to expire on Friday, causing panic among thousands of people trying to remain legally in the country. In the government gazette on 29 November, Schreiber said that the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit would remain valid until 28 November 2025 “in order for me to fulfill the duty placed on me by the Gauteng High Court to consult the affected ZEP holders and all other stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation”. Thabiso Tema spoke with Adv Simba Chitando, Zimbabwe Exemption Permit Holders Association.
