The board will provide input on the future of the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit, the new minister said in his budget speech
ew Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber on Monday said he would revive the Immigration Advisory Board, which has not been constituted for more than a decade, despite being mandatory in law.
“Importantly, the advisory board can provide the minister with evidence-based advice on tackling critical matters such as the court-ordered process of consultation on the future of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit. The Pretoria high court last year ruled the decision by Schreiber’s predecessor, Aaron Motsoaledi, to terminate the ZEP programmeThe court remitted the decision to Motsoaledi, and ordered that pending his decision all existing ZEPs remain valid for another year.
The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry warned earlier this year that Motosaledi was flouting the Immigration Act, which stipulates in section 4 that the minister must appoint a board grouping representatives of government departments and civil society, plus up to four experts in immigration law or administration.
