Mass deportation of Zimbabweans will create a crisis

Mass deportation of Zimbabweans from South Africa is not going to solve anything. In actual fact, it will create a crisis.
As South Africa prepares to elaborate on the permits renewal process and changes in Immigration Laws, they need to be considerate and realise that Zimbabwe is not yet ready to receive and retain JOBLESS people coming from outside the country.
Our appeal as the Migrant Workers' Association-SA (MWA-SA) is that they extend the Special Permits Despensation by starting the permits renewal process 3 months here in South Africa before a person's permit expires and they give another 4-5 years.
It is clear that Zimbabwe's politics and economy need to be sorted out before people are expected to go back.
