The Home Affairs Department said that it had received
applications to drop one of its requirements for Zimbabweans applying for a
general work visa.
The deadline for Zimbabweans who were on the exemption
permit to legitimise is on the 31st of December 2022
One of the requirements for the issuance of a general work
permit is that the Zimbabwean national must have a certificate from the Labour
Department which considers the special skills list or a waiver.
In November, government announced that the permit would
expire at the end of this year.
The Helen Suzman Foundation is approaching the courts to
challenge government’s decision.
The Home Affairs Department said that it was processing
more than 3,000 waiver applications but some have also applied for the issuing
of the labour certificate to be completely discarded
