Thousands of Zimbabweans have flocked the Home Affairs to get processed today.

Any Zimbabweans, who do submit an application to legally stay in South Africa before 5pm today, face deportation.

The department has warned that there will be no extension of the deadline, but whoever is in the queue at 5pm will be helped.

Meanwhile a Zimbabwean national has been arrested for selling fake supporting documents near the Tshwane Event Centre in Pretoria.

Home Affairs said they received a tip-off about three Zimbabweans selling fake documents near the Pretoria Showground’s and authorities were called in, but only one man was arrested while two others fled on foot.

In Cape Town Home Affairs officials reported that they received more than 200,000 applications from Zimbabweans by close of business on Thursday.
