adminThousands face deportation from South Africa
Thupeyo Muleya Beitbridge Bureau
SOUTH AFRICA will, with immediate effect, start deporting illegal Zimbabwean immigrants following the expiry of the July 31 deadline to regularise their stay in that country.
This marks the end of an amnesty on Zimbabweans living illegally in South Africa.
The amnesty paving way for Zimbabweans to regularise their stay ran from May 5, 2009 to July 31 this year.
South Africa received and processed over 275 000 applications from Zimbabweans regularising their stay there.
South Africa’s Home Affairs Department communicated the decision to their Zimbabwean counterparts last Thursday.
The two countries’ officials are expected to meet today.
The blitz will target those without passports and others trying to enter the country through illegal points.
