On Wednesday, South Africa extended the deadline for submissions of the new Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) to 15 February.
The cut off date for making payments and submissions of supporting documents and biometrics was initially November 30, 2017 before it was extended to January 31, 2018 in the hope that those who had applied online would have made payments and submitted the required supporting documents and biometrics.
As of Monday this week, a total of 176 605 applicants had completed the entire process, which included honouring their appointments and submitting supporting documents and biometrics.
