Call and Extend Zim Amnesty Period
People Against Suffering, Suppression, Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP) has called for the extension of the December 31 amnesty deadline for Zimbabweans living in South Africa illegally.
In a press statement, PASSOP says extending the amnesty deadline will prevent abuse of Zimbabweans and unfair pressure on the Department of Home Affairs.
The organisation, which acts in the interests of refugees and asylum seekers, says despite reassurance to civil society that the department has the capacity to implement this, its offices are unable to keep up with enquiries and applications.
