THE Department of Home Affairs has issued a statement reiterating that it has not decided to waive visa requirements for Zimbabweans. This follows a report in a Zimbabwean newspaper claiming that: “South Africa has, with immediate effect, temporarily scrapped stringent visa requirements for Zimbabweans wishing to travel to that country until a permanent solution acceptable to both countries is reached.” The report claims that the decision was reached during the Zimbabwe-South Africa Joint Permanent Commission on Defense and Security. The Home Affairs ministers from both countries will continue to interact on unresolved visa issues until an agreement is reached, says the South African Department of Home Affairs.
