The government is preparing to welcome thousands of Zimbabweans living illegally in South Africa who are expected to be deported from the neighbouring country.
South Africa has intensified its deportation efforts, particularly targeting Zimbabweans, amid concerns from locals that foreigners are taking jobs and contributing to rising crime rates.
In response to written questions from legislators during a parliamentary session on Wednesday regarding the government’s plans to accommodate returning Zimbabweans, Public Service and Social Welfare Minister Maruva Mercy Dinha said:
<blockquote>
The government of Zimbabwe, working with the International Organisation for Migration, laid a foundation for the receipt of migrants in anticipation of the return of Zimbabwe Exemption Permit non-holders from South Africa.
In that regard, there are inter-ministerial committees in place that will be activated to attend to any anticipated return of citizens.
My ministry is finalising the renovations of the Beitbridge and Plumtree reception and support centres, respectively, where returnees will be admitted and then reintegrated into the communities where they came from.
Our capability to handle any number of our returning citizens cannot be doubted as evidenced by our acquittal during the COVID-19 pandemic, where hundreds of thousands of returning citizens were successfully received and reintegrated into the country.
</blockquote>
South Africa hosts millions of African migrants, with a significant number of them being undocumented Zimbabweans.
Approximately 178,000 Zimbabwean nationals currently reside in South Africa under the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP), set to expire on November 29, 2025.
However, ZEP holders are ineligible for permanent residence, and the permits are non-renewable. As a result, there are concerns that many beneficiaries may face deportation when their ZEPs expire.

Zimbabwe is getting ready for many people from South Africa to come back. South Africa is sending back people from other countries who are living there without permission. The Zimbabwe government is preparing to welcome its citizens who will be deported from South Africa. They are getting ready to help them settle back into their communities. Many Zimbabweans live in South Africa with special permits, but these permits will expire soon, and they might have to go back to Zimbabwe. The government is making plans to help these people when they come back.

Zimbabwe Prepares For Migrant Influx From South Africa

Scores of young Mozambican men are eking out a living on the streets of Harare by selling sweets and mobile airtime vouchers.
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200021414/mozambican-hustlers-take-over-hre-streets">NewsDay</a>, the Mozambicans, popularly known as mano, which means a boy in the Mozambican language, are driven from their country by limited economic opportunities and civil war.
22-year-old Gabriel told NewsDay that in Mozambique, “there is nothing”. He added:
<blockquote>
Here (in Zimbabwe), I can send money home, and build a future.
</blockquote>
However, “mano” face several challenges on Harare’s streets, which include competition from Zimbabwean vendors and the constant threat of arrest and deportation due to their irregular migrant status.
At times, they are exploited by unscrupulous middlemen and are always at risk of losing their wares and meagre earnings. Said 21-year-old Ricardo:
<blockquote>
Some of the police and municipal police take advantage of us because they know that we have no proper immigration documents.
They sometimes take our stuff. It’s not easy. The competition, sometimes people don’t trust us. But we have to keep going. We have families depending on us.
</blockquote>
However, the language barrier is a minor issue as most of them come from Manica Province where a certain version of the Shona dialect is spoken.
The Mozambicans sell their products to taxi drivers and learners. Tariro Nyatanga, a young office worker in Graniteside Industrial Area, said:
<blockquote>
Their airtime is convenient as they walk around, and their candies brighten my day. They add a bit of vibrancy to the city.
[However], it’s tough for them. They are always looking over their shoulders, worried about getting caught.
</blockquote>
In the evening, the Mozambicans retreat to their lodgings in Mbare, where they share a single bedroom and use a communal kitchen.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Zimbabwe was, in 2021, still home to approximately 8 000 Mozambican refugees and asylum seekers who fled the country due to political instability or for other reasons.

Mozambican Hustlers "Flood" Harare Streets

South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said that the Department cannot account for how many undocumented migrants are in the country.
Motsoaledi made the remarks on Sunday while briefing the media on the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection.
He said that the Department of Home Affairs, along with Statistics South Africa cannot fully account for how many foreigners are in the country. Motsoaledi was quoted by <a href="https://ewn.co.za/2023/11/12/no-mechanism-of-knowing-how-many-undocumented-migrants-are-in-sa-motsoaledi">EWN</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
South Africa today is a great place to live, even though some South Africans don’t believe this. No one can account for all the undocumented migrants.
The Department of Home Affairs has no idea as to how many illegal migrants are in South Africa here… because there is no mechanism of knowing.
</blockquote>
Earlier last week, the South African cabinet approved the publication of the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection for public comment.
Motsoaledi also said the establishment of the Border Management Authority (BMA) was not to prevent people from coming into the country. He said:
<blockquote>
People like to misconstrue facts that we established the BMA to stop people from coming into South Africa.
We’re not doing anything of that sort. All we’re doing is that people must come into the country illegally.
All we are doing is, people must come into the country legally. Our problem here is illegality.
The Border Management Authority Act must be reviewed so that we align it with the Immigration, Citizenship Act as a new policy framework, because they were all passed differently at different times, without referral to each other.
</blockquote>
In 2022, the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) said that there were 773 246 Zimbabweans in South Africa of which 461 293 were men and 311 953 women.
However, <a href="https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/reports/millions-zimbabweans-living-south-africa-data-doesnt-back-claim">in 2019, Lindiwe Zulu</a>, a member of South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), claimed that there were “millions of Zimbabweans living in South Africa”.
Last week, South Africa’s Statistician-General, Risenga Maluleke, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/11/11/shona-is-one-of-the-emerging-languages-in-south-africa-statistician-general-maluleke/">revealed that Shona, a language spoken by the majority of Zimbabweans, has emerged as a new language</a> in Limpopo Province.
Presenting the 2022 Census Report to Premier Stanley Mathabatha in Polokwane, Risenga revealed that Shona is spoken in over 28 000 households in the province.

South African Government "Has No Idea" How Many Illegal Migrants Are In SA - Minister Motsoaledi

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has said illegal migrants are putting a heavy strain on the country’s fiscus with adverse effects on service delivery and high unemployment, among other things.
Mbalula made the remarks while addressing the ANC 9th Western Cape Provincial Conference over the weekend.
He said the issue of illegal migrants has been a ticking time bomb for the country. Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
Illegal immigrants put a heavy strain on the fiscus with adverse effects on service delivery, the overstretched health sector, high unemployment and poverty.
Illegal immigrants have been a ticking time bomb for the country, which has been an albatross of the ANC-led government to accelerate service delivery at a faster pace and the outbreak of violence as attested to by the violent attacks in Diepsloot on June 21.
</blockquote>
Mbalula implored communities to exercise restraint and avoid damage to property and life.
Last week Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi briefed the ANC’s national working committee (NWC) on migration.
He suggested changes to immigration policies, including amendment proposals on citizenship, immigration and refugee protection.
Mbalula said the ANC’s NWC noted the briefing and emphasised the need for a balance between national interests and international solidarity, particularly within the Pan-African context.
On 07 June, this year, Motsoaledi extended the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP), which would have expired at the end of June, to 31 December 2023.
The extension of the ZEP permit means that holders can enter and leave South Africa provided they comply with all other requirements for crossing the border.

ANC Says Illegal Immigrants A Burden On South Africa's Fiscus

A South African human rights activist and lawyer, Jos Venter, said it is illegal to deny children of undocumented foreign nationals entry at any school in that country.
Venter said this in response to Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie who had called for the children of foreign nationals to be refused entry to South African schools.
Venter said McKenzie’s call was unlawful because education was a basic human right. He said:
<blockquote>
It is absolutely illegal and Gayton McKenzie is wrong in his view, wrong in the law and at a practical level, the implementation of the law is problematic.
But we have the 2019 judgment from the Eastern Cape division of the high court, where the court expressly said that, based on a lack of documents, children can’t be refused admission to public schools.
</blockquote>
Last week, the South African pressure group <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Operation_Dudula">Operation Dudula</a>, said its members will camp outside schools across Gauteng Province to prevent undocumented foreign children and teachers to be part of day one of school.

Refusing Undocumented Children Access To School 'Wrong And Illegal', Says South African Lawyer

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) and International Organisation for Migration (IOM) last Friday said almost half of the migrant workers in the SADC region are women.
In a joint statement, ILO and IOM said the importance of creating gender-responsive migration policies will be discussed at a tripartite two-day conference scheduled for Victoria Falls starting tomorrow.
The conference will run under the theme “Labour Migration Governance in the SADC region,” according to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200004222/labour-migration-governance-development-in-southern-africa-put-under-spotlight">NewsDay.</a> Read the statement:
<blockquote>
The governance of labour migration as an instrument for development in Southern Africa will be put under the spotlight at a high-level tripartite two-day dialogue.
President Emmerson will officially open the high-level conference which seeks to find ways to foster fair and effective labour migration governance and the protection of migrant workers in Southern Africa. 
It is designed to improve migration management in the Southern African and Indian Ocean region guided by, and contributing to the realisation of, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda goal 8 on decent work and economic growth and goal 10 on reducing inequality and Objective 6 of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) to Facilitate fair and ethical recruitment and safeguard conditions that ensure decent work.
Since almost half of the migrant workers in the SADC region are women, the conference will spotlight the importance of labour migration policies to be gender-responsive and evidence-based.
</blockquote>
According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA, year), 47% of migrants are female.

"Almost Half Of Migrant Workers In The SADC Region Are Women" - IOM

The Zimbabwe government is now in panic mode after South Africa announced plans to suspend the temporary work permits of Zimbabweans who fled their country due to socio-economic factors, reported The NewsHawks.
Nearly three million Zimbabweans fled the country to South Africa seeking better economic prospects as well as political asylum.
Most of them have no proper documentation, according to organisations such as the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
South Africa’s International Relations and Cooperation Minister, Naledi Pandor, last month met President Emmerson Mnangagwa and her Zimbabwean counterpart Frederick Shava at State House where Zimbabwe pleaded with its southern neighbour to delay the deportation of locals whose documentation is invalid.
The NewsHawks reported a source as saying Shava felt that the move to suspend the temporary permits would affect the governing party’s 2023 election campaign. Another source said:
<blockquote>The government is not sure what Pretoria has up its sleeves, more so in the context of recent diplomatic engagements between the two countries.</blockquote>
The old permits, known as the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP), replaced the Zimbabwean Special Permit (ZSP).
The initial Special Dispensation for Zimbabweans was approved in April 2009 to document Zimbabwean nationals who were in South Africa illegally.

The ZSP allowed applications from Zimbabweans with a valid passport, evidence of employment, business or accredited study and a clear criminal record.
Successful applicants were granted permits to stay and work, study or run a business in South Africa.
The ZEP permits were to be issued for a maximum period of four years, beginning on 1 January 2018 and expiring on 31 December 2021.
