Last week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade spokesperson, Livit Mugejo said the purpose of the mid-term review is to review progress made in implementing bilateral programmes between the two countries under the Bi-National Commission framework.
Thousands of Zimbabweans living in South Africa face an uncertain future after the country’s government announced that it would not be extending the Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEP), which ended on December 31 2021.
Nearly 200 000 permit-holders were given a 12-months grace period to regularise their stay with another category of permit or leave the country.
