Zimbabwe has had a passport backlog that dated back to 2018 with the RG\u2019s office saying it had inadequate consumables needed for the printing of passports.<\/p>\n

The outbreak of the coronavirus gave the government some grace period to reduce the backlog since there were few applications during that period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
