The government has said a mapping exercise in South Africa has revealed that Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders (ZEPs) have low interest in returning to the country, <a href="https://www.news24.com/news24/africa/news/zimbabwe-to-give-counselling-to-zep-holders-returning-home-from-sa-20230405">reported News24</a>.
The permanent secretary of the Ministry of Public Service and Social Welfare, Simon Masanga, said the government will offer counselling for returnees after the expiry of their permits in South Africa.
In a speech presented at a government counselling and psychological workshop in Bulawayo, the second-largest city in the country, Masanga said:
<blockquote>
Sharpening our counselling skills is a way in which these committees (receiving the returnees) can be capacitated.
This training will empower the frontline officers to be equipped with skills to handle the returnees upon and post-arrival.
</blockquote>
This comes as Zimbabwe was ranked as the fourth unhappiest country in the world by the World Happiness Report for 2023.
The ZEP permits were meant to expire in December last year but a six-month extension was granted to 30 June 2023.
An estimated 180 000 Zimbabweans are in South Africa on ZEPs and by December last year, fewer than 10% had applied for the available mainstream visas.

"ZEP Holders Unwilling To Return To Zimbabwe"

The Zimbabwean embassy in South Africa is expected to launch a strategic plan for the return of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders.
South Africa cancelled the ZEP facility last year stating that holders will not be allowed to reside, work or learn in that country beyond 30 June 2023 if they cannot find alternative legal permission to live there.
About 180 000 Zimbabweans face deportation.
Several lobby groups met last week at the University of Cape Town to discuss the upcoming court bid to oppose the government’s decision to scrap the ZEP.
A lawyer representing permit holders, Advocate Simba Chitando, told <a href="https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/zimbabwean-embassy-in-sa-to-launch-bid-for-the-return-of-zimbabwean-exemption-permit-holders/">SABC News</a> that the Zimbabwean government is not responsible for the decision to terminate the ZEP. He added:
<blockquote>
In my view, all the Zim government can do is make provisions to accept the Zim nationals who may want to return to Zimbabwe. It looks like the Zim government is saying that for those who wish to return, I got the sense that it is a voluntary exercise, and they are doing what any government would do when there is a crisis in a foreign country, to make provisions for the return of its own people.
</blockquote>
South Africa’s cancellation of special permits for foreign nationals is part of a broad exercise of reviewing its immigration policies to manage an influx of economic migrants.
It is viewed as the government’s response to intensified calls and efforts by South African nationals who have over the years been calling for the ejection of foreign nationals whom they argue were taking their jobs and business opportunities.

South Africa: Zimbabwean Embassy To Launch A Plan For The Return Of ZEP Holders

Several South African lobby groups met on Wednesday to discuss the upcoming court bid to oppose the SA government’s decision to scrap the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP).
The case is set to be heard at the High Court in Pretoria from 11 to 14 April.
The event was organised by the UCT Refugee Rights Unit and the Centre for European Policy Studies.
Speaking at the event a lawyer representing the applicants in the Helen Suzman Foundation (HSF) court bid said the SA Minister of Home Affairs failed to consider the Constitutional rights of children born and raised in South Africa in the decision to scrap the permits. He said:
<blockquote>
The core relief is to get the decision to terminate the ZEP and that some form of interim measures be in place to protect ZEP holders until the minister can take a proper decision.
</blockquote>
Almost 180 000 permit holders now face deportation if they cannot find alternative legal permission to live in South Africa.
Portia (not her real name) who has a Ph.D. in Law at the University of Cape Town (UCT), said the SA government’s decision has drained her emotionally.
Portia, who moved to South Africa when she was 16 years old and is currently doing a post-doc at UCT, said:
<blockquote>
How can I be in a country, where I came as a minor and be expected to pack my bags to go to Zimbabwe?
My attachment to Zimbabwe is not as strong as it is to South Africa. My whole education was in South Africa…
I obtained my Bachelor’s degree, Masters and completed Ph.D. using ZEP. … I can’t explain how much this fiasco is affecting me mentally and my career.
</blockquote>
Tendai (not his real name), said he has been teaching science at a high school for 13 years.
His son is doing his second year at university and his daughter is in matric this year. He said:
<blockquote>
We were considered supporters of the opposition party MDC and so I ran away and to South Africa. My youngest child was two and my son was in grade 2.
I have contributed a lot to South African society and have been a loyal taxpayer. This is where my life is centred.
I have built my whole life around Cape Town. Going back to Zimbabwe at this time – I don’t know where I would start.
How’s my daughter going to finish school? I will fail to provide for my child.
Am I going to terminate my children’s education so that she doesn’t have a future anymore?
The emotional stress we have to go through [is too much].
</blockquote>
The SA government gave ZEP holders until the end of June 2023 to apply to remain in South Africa on a critical skills permit, though very few of them meet the stringent critical skills criteria. | <a href="https://www.groundup.org.za/article/court-bid-to-oppose-zep-scrapping-set-for-april/">GroundUp</a>

Zimbabwe Exemption Permits Court Challenge Set For April

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) says school-going children of Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEP) holders are expected to produce valid examination results when they return to Zimbabwe.
The examination results will be measured using the qualification equivalence grade conversion system so that they can be admitted to further their education.
For learners who may not have sat for examinations yet in South Africa but want to return to school in Zimbabwe, they will be assessed at the school level by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.
ZIMSEC public relations manager Nicky Dlamini said admittance into primary and secondary education will be measured by syllabus coverage of the learners from South Africa which will determine where they will be placed to continue with their education before they sit for public examinations. She said:
<blockquote>
The grade conversion is what is termed ‘Qualifications Equivalence’. This is a process where candidates have their grades equated to the grading standards of the country in which they wish to continue their education.
For instance, candidates would need to get an equivalence of their Matric to Zimsec qualifications so as to know which level they have attained according to the educational system in Zimbabwe.
All examination boards have a standard that they abide by when conducting equivalence.
The syllabus of the country of origin and the syllabus of the country in which they wish to study are compared and contrasted. The assessment models and instruments are also used.
These standards are according to assessment standards set and regulated by the Southern African Association for Education Assessment (SAAEA), Association for Education Assessment for Africa (AEAA), and the International Association for Education Assessment (IAEA).
</blockquote>
Dlamini said parents and guardians will be required to pay Equivalence of Qualifications which costs US$15 and is payable in local currency at the interbank rate of the day.
The process takes a maximum of 48 hours and learners must provide their original certificates awarded by the examining board.
Zimbabwe is expecting to receive tens of thousands of citizens in the coming months from South Africa when their ZEP permits expire. | <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/zimsec-clarifies-guidelines-for-learners-from-south-africa/">The Sunday News</a>

ZIMSEC Speaks On Guidelines For Learners From South Africa

Some Zimbabweans who returned home after working and studying for years in South Africa are battling to rebuild their lives, <a href="https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-09-27-returning-zimbabweans-face-increased-hardship-uncertainty-in-harare/">Daily Maverick</a> reported.
Most were forced to return after the South African government’s decision to scrap the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) facility.

</ul>
Returnees who spoke to the Daily Maverick said their lives were in South Africa. Tapiwa Munda is cited as saying:
<blockquote>
It is painful to leave a place you have heavily invested in, and to be forced back into a country you fled because of corruption, dictatorship and an economy that is regressing.
</blockquote>
Munda worked in Yeoville selling fresh flowers. He now sells second-hand bags, joining the informal traders who line the dusty road that leads to the Bindura terminus in Harare.
He said business picks up during the tobacco and cotton trading season when the farmers come to town to do some shopping.
Munodei Machingura worked for a decade as a domestic worker in East London. She is now an informal foreign currency dealer at the Roadport bus terminus in Harare. 
She said police often arrest money dealers and confiscate their holdings. She wishes the government would regularise the trade for informal dealers like herself.
She said she misses South Africa’s free primary health care most.s
Some Zimbabweans still in South Africa, who will find themselves with no legal papers to stay in South Africa <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/south-africa-home-affairs-minister-extends-zimbabwean-exemption-permit-full-text/">after 30 June 2023</a>, say returning home is not a realistic option. They are playing wait-and-see, hoping they will win in the courts.

Some Zimbabweans Returning From South Africa Find It Hard To Adjust

South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said that expired Zimbabwean exemption permit (ZEP) holders who do not apply to be in the country legally will be punished if they remain in SA after the grace period runs out.
Motsoaledi said this on Tuesday when he appeared in parliament to provide an update on the ZEP process underway. He said:
<blockquote>
The ball is in their court, not in the government’s court. We will deal with them the same way we deal with someone who is in the country illegally and overstayed. There is punishment for that.
</blockquote>
Motsoaledi explained that there are two applications the Department of Home Affairs is expecting from expired Zimbabwean exemption permit (ZEP) holders. He said:
<blockquote>
There are two applications we are expecting from Zimbabweans, namely the visa in terms of the Immigration Act and an application for a waiver where an applicant may say these are their circumstances and they ask for a waiver from what the government has directed them to do.
We realised that work needed experts because it is a special dispensation, so I appointed a team of six, including three officials who were dealing with the reviewing of permits and three senior councils from the private sector.
They have had several meetings to outline how the work is going to be done so there is a common understanding and they follow similar standards when they start working.
</blockquote>
Motsoaledi insisted that the South African government was not targetting Zimbabweans. He said:
<blockquote>
I know people say we are only targeting Zimbabweans, but the Basotho permit is expiring at the end of December 2023.
The Zimbabwean permits expired in December 2021. This is because they were issued at different times.
