6000 fake IDs surrendered by Zimbabweans

Some 6 000 Zimbabweans have reportedly surrendered their illegally-acquired identity documents to South Africa's Home Affairs department while 50 000 handed in asylum documents as that country's regularisation programme for illegal immigrants intensifies.
The department has so far processed work and study permits for 65 570 Zimbabweans and pledged to process the remaining 210 192 applications soon.
The department also said 16 960 Zimbabweans submitted applications using birth certificates or national identity documents (IDs), 15 066 applied with any other document and 28 044 applied for passports. 
The Registrar General's Office is expected to issue 60 702 passports.
