Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Operation Dudula, an anti-immigrant group in South Africa, said the extension of Zimbabwean Exemption Permits (ZEPs) is an insult to South Africans.<\/p>\n

On 02 September 2022, South Africa\u2019s Home Affairs Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi announced the extension of the application period to 30 June 2023.<\/p>\n

Motsoaledi, however, warned that there will be no further extensions.<\/p>\n

Operation Dudula\u2019s Kwena Molekwa said the South African government has betrayed its people by extending the deadline. Said Molekwa:<\/p>\n

But what is heartbreaking is the continuous betrayal of the ANC government toward the South African people because prioritising South Africans in South Africa seems like a wild concept\u2026labour laws of this country have been undermined under this ZEP that is being placed illegally.<\/p>\n

Molekwa said they can\u2019t continue to feel sorry for Zimbabweans considering that almost half of South Africans are unemployed. Said Molekwa:<\/p>\n

Yes, we did sympathise with the Zimbabwean people but we can no longer continue looking at the unemployment of South Africans, looking at 46% of South Africans that are on grants.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Motsoaledi revealed that to date, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has received 9 000 visa waivers and 4 000 applications.<\/p>\n
