People Against Suffering, Suppression, Oppression and Poverty says the Department of Home Affairs has ‘exceeded expectations’ in its attempts to register Zimbabweans illegally in South Africa
People Against Suffering, Suppression, Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP) says the Department of Home Affairs has ‘exceeded expectations’ in its attempts to register Zimbabweans illegally in South Africa.

PASSOP spokesperson, Braam Hanekom, who has been among its fiercest critics, points out that, “The officials worked hard, it was a mammoth task and they had limited time.”

Hanekom says he is hopeful that at least 220 000 Zimbabweans who applied for the dispensation would be accepted.
Looking to the year ahead, he fears that possible 2011 elections in Zimbabwe could lead to a fresh influx of refugees into the country.
