The Zimbabwean Embassy in South Africa has announced dates and venues for the registration of ZEP holders who need assistance to return to Zimbabwe. This comes as thousands of Zimbabweans are expected to return home on or before the 30th of June this year when the Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEPs) expire.

In a notice, the Zimbabwean consulate in South Africa said those intending to return to Zimbabwe need to bring Birth Certificate registration, Passport application form processing, and Temporary Travel Document (TTD). Reads the notice:

The Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in South Africa wishes to recall its announcement on 2 February 2023 that the Government of Zimbabwe has taken a decision to assist and facilitate the repatriation of its nationals, holders of the Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEPs), who voluntarily wish to return home before the expiry of their permits on 30 June 2023.

In that regard, an in-person/physical mapping exercise will be undertaken across all the nine provinces of South Africa from 12 to 31 March 2023, to identify and register ZEP holders and their dependants who may require assistance or facilitation to return to Zimbabwe.
