NOTICE TO ALL ZIMBABWEAN EXEMPTION PERMIT HOLDERS

MINISTER’S IMMIGRATION DIRECTIVE NO 15 OF 2024

RE: EXTENSION OF VALIDITY OF EXEMPTIONS GRANTED IN TERMS OF

SECTION 31(2)(b) OF THE IMMIGRATION ACT, 2002 (ACT NO. 13 OF 2002)

1.  I, Dr L. A. Schreiber, MP, Minister of Home Affairs, with the powers bestowed
                          upon me  in terms  of section 31(2)(b)  of the Immigration Act,  (“Immigration

Act”)  have  decided to  extend the validity  of the Zimbabwean Exemption
                          Permits (“ZEP”) until 28 November 2025 in order for me to fulfill the duty

placed on me by the Gauteng High Court to consult the affected ZEP holders
                          and all other stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation.

2.  The reactivation of the Immigration Advisory Board (“IAB”) is currently
                          underway and its first  task will be to  consider, advise and enable  the steps

required for compliance with the Order of the High Court on the future of the
                          ZEP. In order to give the IAB time to properly do its work, and a fair process to

be followed, I direct that:

2.1. existing ZEPs  shall be deemed to remain valid for the next (12) twelve
                           months;
