This was said by Ellen Sithole, the deputy chairperson of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission at a media briefing of Public Hearings on the National Inquiry on Access to Documentation in Zimbabwe on Tuesday. She said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > The Commission had observed that with the prevailing socio-economic challenges, possession of a passport does not only facilitate freedom of movement as contemplated in section 66 of the constitution but is also a source of livelihood. > Many of our people today survive on cross border trade. If passports are not readily available, people have no choice but to cross borders illegally. The government is failing to provide its citizens with passports, with the backlog now reportedly in the hundreds of thousands. On Tuesday, there was a stampede at the offices of the Registrar-general in Harare as thousands of citizens tried to apply for the travel documents. *More: Zim Morning Post* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
