Operation Dudula Files Urgent Pretoria High Court Application to Scrap Home Affairs Minister’s 18-Month Zimbabwean Permit Extension, Arguing that Government Exceeded Legal Authority Operation Dudula has filed an urgent application in the High Court in Pretoria to have the Minister of Home Affairs' recent extension of Zimbabwean Exemption Permits declared unlawful and set aside. The organisation argues the October 2025 directive oversteps legal bounds following the lapse of a prior court order. The case, registered under number 066638/2026, names the Minister of Home Affairs and Director-General as first and second respondents, alongside the Helen Suzman Foundation, Consortium for Refugees and Migrants in South Africa, Zimbabwe Immigration Federation NPC, and African Amity NPC as further respondents. Operation Dudula's president, Zandile Dabula, deposed to the founding affidavit supporting the notice of motion. The application targets the ministerial directive published in Government Gazette No. R6716 on 7 October 2025, which extended ZEPs until 27 May 2027—an 18-month period. This came nearly a year after the previous court-ordered 12-month validity expired on 6 November 2024, without any extension sought from the court or finalisation of the required reconsideration process under PAJA. The organisation seeks a court order directing the Minister and Director-General to publish notices in the Gazette and national newspapers, calling on affected ZEP holders to apply for alternative legal status within six months, with applications to be finalised within three months thereafter. They also demand costs, including for two counsel. The core argument rests on the lapse of the 2023 High Court judgment in the Helen Suzman Foundation matter, which had deemed ZEPs valid for 12 months pending proper reconsideration. Operation Dudula contends no valid permits existed post-November 2024 for the Minister to extend, rendering the directive invalid and without legislative authority.

@mybroadband Remember SA gov is a mafia state, they benefit millions out of it so they better keep silence😭

Nigerian scammers created operations in South Africa, with Johannesburg and Cape Town hubs Scam centres in South Africa are run by organised crime groups from other countries, while smaller operations are run from prisons and by local gangs. mybroadband.co.za/news/security/…

@GovernmentZA Most municipalities including Nkomazi municipality around the country are struggling to provide Water as basic needs to civilians. How come we do have such percentage?

@DSBD_SA Funding? Highly impossible to rely on such things. Simple things like issuing permits For spaza shops owners is impossible, instead we see More Somalians, Pakistanians having access & opportunities over us.

@ReleGlo So you don't afford nice food? Don't involve bf on your basic needs. If you're not happy with him, leave. Than embarrassing a guy.

@ReleGlo SA Ladies please stop insulting SA guys Coz u know the struggle of high unemployment, live within your means and try shaping Your life to do something for yourself instead of blaming others (Your parents must take responsibilities)

Dating a broke guy can be really draining. You end up pretending you don’t like nice things just to protect his feelings, and acting like money doesn’t matter when it actually does 😪😭

Don't you think is too late for that? Kagiso is a Hustler unfortunately life taught him something in a rough Way. He can't afford his Time & energy misused somewhere else.

@kagisonkhoma @feziledhlamini_ @IDCSouthAfrica Come out in your NUMBERS MADODA. Collect your info and put it together chronologically. So that there can be a COMPARISON on who got the money instead of your businesses!

@kagisonkhoma @feziledhlamini_ @IDCSouthAfrica The black business council is just as useless

@kagisonkhoma @feziledhlamini_ @IDCSouthAfrica It sounds like SA Government business funding institutions are taking instructions from the Stellenbosch mafia, we have black stoegies in position of power who are failing every black person deserving funding!
