Zimbabweans can get permits to stay legally in South Africa for six months, the authorities have announced.

Some three million Zimbabweans are believed to have crossed the border to escape the economic collapse and human rights abuses at home. The permit gives migrants the right to work and get healthcare and education. An official said the permits would reduce the numbers claiming political asylum, which means they are not allowed to return home. "Most Zimbabweans are not asylum-seekers, they are economic migrants. So what they want to do is to come into the country do some work and go back home and take money back," said Home Affairs Director General of Immigration Services Jackie MacKay.

Mavuso Msimang will vacate his seat as Director General of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) in April, but questions still remain whether the ambitious turnaround strategy he oversaw proved effective.

DHA spokesperson Cleo Mosana confirms that Msimang's contract is set to expire soon and that Msimang has indicated that he will not renew his contract with the department, which ends in April 2010.

Msimang assumed the role of DG in May 2007, after leaving the troubled State IT Agency (SITA). When he moved to the DHA, former Home Affairs minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula hailed Msimang's appointment as a sign of progress for the DHA and noted she was hoping for a turnaround comparable to the one he had implemented at SITA.
