Former "Operation Dudula" leader Nhlanhla 'Lux' Dlamini has expressed his support for Zimbabweans protesting in Pretoria against the high prices of e-passports. This is a notable shift from his previous stance in the anti-immigrant campaign.
Zimbabweans face exorbitant costs for essential services and goods, contributing to widespread poverty and exploitation. For example, the cost of an ordinary passport in Zimbabwe is US$150, and an emergency passport is US$250. In stark contrast, a South African passport costs approximately R600 (US$33).
The high prices in Zimbabwe are exacerbated by corruption, with hidden costs driving up prices to accommodate rent-seeking activities and bribes. This corruption imposes a significant financial burden on ordinary Zimbabweans, further deepening their impoverishment.
