South Africa is set to renew about 250,000 Zimbabwe visas, in a move
aimed at curbing illegal immigrants to South Africa. The visas had
been set to expire in December. The number of Zimbabweans crossing
over to South Africa has been steadily increasing, ever since
President Robert Mugabe began plans to redistribute land back to
indegenous Zimbabweans. The number of Zimbabweans crossing over to
South Africa reached a high in 2008 after the post election violence
in the country. However, ordinary South Africans are getting concerned
fearing that immigrants from other African countries are taking over
their jobs.
