We are fully aware that there is anxiety among permit holders as the special dispensation permits are due to expire at the end of December. > Regrettably, we are not in a position at this point to state or predict the direction that will be taken by the South African government on this matter. > We can, however, confirm that consultations on the issue have been underway among the relevant stakeholders in SA and the issue has since been submitted to Cabinet for decision. > In this regard, we continue to wait for pronouncements by the government’s competent authorities on the future of these permits. > In the meantime, we encourage the permit holders of these permits to exercise patience and to be watchful for scams. Chaurura made the remarks on Thursday while representing the Zimbabwean ambassador to South Africa David Hamadziripi during the Southern African Liaison Office (SALO) virtual discussion on the ZSDP, which expires on December 31. The meeting also deliberated on the diaspora vote in the 2023 general election as well as vaccines for Zimbabwean migrants in South Africa. In 2010, about 295 000 Zimbabweans applied for the permits and 245 000 successfully got the documents An estimated three million Zimbabweans are believed to be resident in South Africa. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
