The Department of Home Affairs has extended the submission of supporting documents and biometrics for Zimbabwe Exemption Permits applications to 31 January 2018. Applicants who wish to travel during the festive season will have to produce their passports, ZSP sticker and receipt of ZEP application. Meanwhile, the African Diaspora Forum (ADF) has lambasted the Department of Home Affairs, alleging that the department was delaying processing its members' documents and that they do not know how many foreign nationals there are in the country. Stephen Kirker speaks to Home Affairs Director General Mkuseli Apleni.
