The Zimbabwean Consulate Finally Delivers Passports To Zimbabweans in Cape Town

PASSOP has been informed that the Zimbabwean Consulate will finally be
delivering passports to Zimbabweans who applied for them in Cape Town,
following months of misinformation, which caused much panic amongst Cape
Town based Zimbabwean applicants. We welcome this move, but note with
concern the inconsistency in the Zimbabwean consulate’s public statements.
We also note with concern that there remain applicants for the Zimbabweans
Dispensation Project who still need to apply for passports, who have not
been given any opportunity to do so in Cape Town.
 

We will monitor the process to ensure that they are held to account, it is
important that human rights are respected during the distribution process
and that no more assaults or political interference occurs. Consulate
officials will be distributing passports in Cape Town from the South African
Department of Home Affairs office in Boston Centre, Bellville between 28 and
30 April 2011.

Applicants will be required to bring their passport application receipt for
R750.00 and a Zimbabwean ID/ expired/valid passport. Please note parents and
guardians collecting for children below 16 years will be required to bring
their child’s birth certificate and parents Zimbabwean ID.
