Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, has welcomed the decision of the High Court, Gauteng Local Division, in Pretoria to struck from the roll the urgent applications by Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEP) holders.
In a bid to overturn the decision taken by the Minister of Home Affairs, supported by Cabinet, not to renew the ZEP, various interest groups connected to the holders of ZEP took the matter to court.
“We are determined to defend any spurious court actions aimed at undermining the lawful and reasonable decision which I took in my capacity as the Minister of the department. We are doing this while we acknowledge the rights of individuals and groups to approach the courts to seek remedies if they feel aggrieved,” Motsoaledi said on Wednesday.
According to the Minister, two organisations claiming to be representing the interests of ZEP holders, one calling itself African Amity, launched urgent applications in the High Court, Gauteng Division, late on 24 December.
