WATCH: South Africa Clarifies Zimbabwean Exemption Permits

South Africa’s Minister of Home Affairs, Aaron Motsoaledi has dismissed reports that they have reversed a decision to suspend Zimbabwean Exemption Permits (ZEPs).

He said they have only reversed a circular issued last week because it created confusion. He said: 

The Cabinet decision on Zimbabwean permits still stands.

He reiterated that when the ZEPs expire in December, the current holders still have a 12-month grace period.

Motsoaledi dismissed reports saying holders will be immediately arrested when their permits expire. Watch the video below for more.
