The Department of Home Affairs says it has issued a total of 133 331 permits to Zimbabweans enabling them to legally remain in the country.

Mamabolo, who stated that the figure includes those who applied for amnesty, argues that despite SMSs being sent to those people who had not yet collected their documents, some still remained at the department.
