Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has extended the special permits for Zimbabweans and Basotho living in South Africa for another two years until November 2025. The exemption will cater to more than 50,000 Basotho and 178,000 Zimbabweans who have migrated to South Africa. The ZSP which is held by just over 178 000 Zimbabweans was due to expire in June 2023 following a number of extensions, but its termination was scrapped in the courts, which ruled that ending the permit would be unconstitutional. The Department is currently appealing the High Court decision in the Supreme Court of Appeals. We spoke to Sharon Ekambaran, Spokesperson for Migrant Rights Advocacy group, Kopanong Africa
