Zimbabwe Exemption Permits: SA Home Minister Heads to Supreme Court Over Appeal Bid | NC Now

The South African Home Affairs Minister is appealing the case of Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEP) to the Supreme Court. This action follows a recent finding by the North Gauteng High Court that ZEP permit holders should be able to seek for permanent residency in South Africa.

The ZEP programme was developed to assist Zimbabwean people living in South Africa with legal status. It granted them permission to live, work, and study in South Africa for a set length of time. The current court decision, however, has ramifications for their eligibility for permanent residency.

The decision of the Home Affairs Minister to appeal the case highlights the intricacies of immigration laws and their legal interpretations. The outcome of the Supreme Court's review will have a significant impact on the future of Zimbabwean nationals living in South Africa and the immigration policies of the country.
