  1. My husband applied but it seems like he was rejected and they told home affairs going to call but still they did not call. The question is are they still going to call?

    I had applied for renewal of my DZP permit on 19th of November 2014 but I have not received any confirmation that my permit is being processed. The problem is my employer is terminating my contract because my contract is based on the expiry date of my old DZP which is expiring on 2015/03/31. Can you please help me? I do not know what to do since its now about 4 months the date I had applied. Unfortunately I went to check for results in Cape town but I was told to keep on waiting.

    Thank you

  3. How can I get permanent papers like an identity card?

  4. I applied for renewal of Dzp zsp,submitted on 12 Nov 2014. I went home for festive season. While coming back I was given 3 months up to 8 April. My permit is not yet out. What should I do,the expiry of my visa is quickly approaching.

  5. Mr Malusi Gigaba says Zimbabweans who applied for ZSP they can stay long for festive season. Is it mean we can come back even January as we can?
