This decision made by Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber, will allow time for consultation with affected ZEP holders and stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation.
The extension comes after a court ruling that declared the Minister’s decision to terminate the ZEP as procedurally unfair and unconstitutional.
The ruling, made by the Pretoria High Court, affected approximately 178,000 Zimbabwean nationals who hold the permit.
“I, Dr L. A. Schreiber, MP, Minister of Home Affairs, with the powers bestowed upon me in terms of section 31(2)(b) of the Immigration Act, (“Immigration Act”) have decided to extend the validity of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permits (‘ZEP’) until 28 November 2025 in order for me to fulfill the duty placed on me by the Gauteng High Court to consult the affected ZEP holders and all other stakeholders on the future of the current dispensation,” the Minister stated in a statement.

The UK government has launched its new Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, altering how visitors from certain countries enter the UK.
The UK ETA application fee is a non-refundable £10 (approximately $12.50). Interested travelers can apply through the official UK government app via phone or directly online.
The app offers quicker processing times, with decisions typically made within 10 minutes.
Applicants are advised to upload a passport photo, take a selfie, and answer questions concerning travel plans during the application.
The online application takes around 20 minutes to complete and must be finished in one sitting.
The ETA is valid for two years and permits multiple entries, allowing applicants to visit as often as they wish.
However, since it is digitally linked to the passport, obtaining a new passport during this period invalidates the ETA, requiring a new application.
