Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi's decision not to create a further exemption programme for around 178 000 Zimbabwean nationals living in South Africa does not take away their rights - it confers them. | AlexMitchley

This was one of the arguments by Motsoaledi and the Department of Home Affairs' director-general in a court challenge by the Helen Suzman Foundation which is being heard in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.

The permits were effectively extended by creating another permit over the years and have since become known as the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit . Motsoaledi's decision to terminate ZEP unfair and irrational, Helen Suzman Foundation tells court It said he did not consider the impact this would have on ZEP holders, and it infringed on their rights.

In terms of the implementation, he said this was ongoing as ZEP holders were given until June 2023 to regularise their stay in South Africa by applying for other visas or asking to be exempt from the expiration of the ZEP. The decision was also placed under the spotlight on whether Motsoaledi terminated the ZEP or if it expired because of the effluxion of time.
