The Zimbabwean Embassy in South Africa is ready to facilitate for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders who wish to return home through a two-phase mapping process.

This follows the announcement by the government of South Africa that they would not renew the ZEP.

The SA Department of Home Affairs gave ZEP holders until June 30 to apply for waivers or other visas.

In a statement, the Zimbabwean Embassy said they will be conducting an exercise to identify and register ZEP holders who wish to return home.

“The mapping exercise will be conducted in the course of February and March 2023, across all the provinces of South Africa. This exercise is composed of two parts, the first being an Online registration.

“The second part involves physical visits by multi-sectoral teams to designated areas across SA. The teams will comprise officials from the Embassy, the Consulate and several government ministries.

“The first phase will entail an Online registration where those who wish to be assisted are invited to register their details on that platform,” reads the statement.

The Online registration will be open from February 2-March 3.

In phase two, registration centres will be open on dates to be announced across SA for in-person registration.

The Embassy urges Zimbabwean nationals living in SA to be law-abiding citizens and respect the laws of the country.
