Govt Has No Stats on Migrants - Maunye

The Department of Home Affairs says it has no statistics on foreigners in the country either legally or illegally.

Briefing the National Assembly's home affairs committee on the Zimbabwean documentation project, the committee chairperson, Maggie Maunye, pointed out that it will help establish how many Zimbabweans are in the country legally and illegally.

Maunye states that the project should be expanded to other foreign nationals, as some foreign nationals claim to be asylum seekers when they should be economic migrants.
