Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma says more than 10,000 applications from Zimbabweans who are applying for dispensation have been rejected. She paid an un-announced visit to the Wynberg Home Affairs office.
Hundreds of Zimbabweans queued outside to complete their applications. The department says more than 127,000 applications have been received, while just over 42,000 have been processed.
Minister Dlamini-Zuma says there could be a variety of reasons for the rejections, which are also being reviewed. "One of the reasons used was somebody misunderstood and didn't only want a copy of the persons passport but also a copy of the person's employer."
She says the biggest challenge now is to increase staff at their offices, since the number of applications is increasing as the deadline is looming.
