Newzroom Afrika's Veronica Makhoali has the story.

Passport in Zimbabwe are expensive but VOTING out ZANU-PF is free.

[@luyandajayjonsile2545]

Nah voting is difficult

[@khosinimsebele7835]

Elections or voting is working in South Africa. U are lucky

[@phemelomogatusi8495]

@luyandajayjonsile2545 what makes it difficult is that Zimbabweans don't go home to vote during elections. Putting X next to an alternative political party is EEZZY.

[@khosinimsebele7835]

@phemelomogatusi8495 Easy in South Africa, thank Tata Mandela for democracy, he is the only truth leader in Africa that will never be forgotten.

[@siyamcelabewana6099]

Thanks to Malema he said they must find create ways to come here.

[@keketsomega8358]

You have a small mind, illegal migration has been going on even before the creation on EFF in 2013

[@Salim-c3i1e]

In the first place they willingly got arrested so that they can have a free , expenses paid trip to the border to spend the holidays with their families across the border. Now that the holidays are over , they are coming back to SA to continue their illegal activities ...The Zimbos , Malawis , Mozies and others are having a good laugh at Sans .

[@JabuArgeeMtsweni]

It's our politicians ,courts and thi human rights commission who are failing the South Africans

[@ephraimmalebye]

...Queues of pple making their way back to South Africa for greener pastures...but when our useless leaders are deployed or asked about crisis in other SADC countries... they say what crisis ¿¿¿ and some of them encourage pple to find creative ways of flock back to the country ...

[@jameskillu9171]

ANC officials during the struggle, were crossing rivers to Zimbabwe, escaping apartheid now they have replaced apartheid. and are arresting those escaping

[@Linds-qh6qs]

There is no war in Zimbabwe most South Africans fought for their freedom you can’t fight Zim authorities by doing crime in South Africa

[@MsMbally]

you guys need to fix your own..honestly don't know why all of you want to come here ,who's left behind at home??

[@AkhonaGaladla]

they don't bother to go home to vote out their incompetent government but happy to go home for Christmas holidays and enjoy chibuku

[@khosinimsebele7835]

South Africa help Zimbabweans fix their country, as long they no jobs for them to put food on the table, it's waste of time. Governments must stop lying about the situation in their countries. The pretend that no problem in their country yet people are suffering there, it's only them and their families that are enjoying a luxurious lives.

[@Linds-qh6qs]

Everyone expect South to fix all the counties South Africans are struggling as it is

[@JabuArgeeMtsweni]

If I recall well you have land that Zimbabwe to from whites go home and do farming as some of Zimbabweans brothers claim about how good is the education in Zimbabwe

[@Linds-qh6qs]

This guy is bluffing You can’t risk your life for just buying potatoes 3 bags really He’s not telling the truth

[@richbrainmello]

Masipa...I suspect he is not south African....what's his name?

[@GrootmanSipho]

I don’t understand how you could complain about this and still vote for ANC. PA is the only party that wants to put a stop to this.

[@veeee7248]

It's because of zanu pf munangagwa and crew who dosent want to leave the power. Zanupf step down

[@mr.blackzonrackz7055]

So why don't you take the power? U always advise South Africans to just take the land back, why are u failing to take back the power from someone who looks like you?

[@chapter9363]

Without finding a political solution in Zimbabwe, this will go on forever 😢

[@Tee-kay991]

We need Africa back

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

Zim back

[@mollyndlovu7870]

But why did they take his money why why. Pls give his money back pls i beg you 😭🛐

[@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c]

I can't be angry at people trying to make a living. Why would the Zim government charge such exorbitant fees for passport 😮. Systematic poverty

[@LSG58]

Who must challenge the zim gov on those fees? SA passport R600, if we feel us too much money we will address with gov/GNU

[@uncletee1853]

Welcome back

[@Chi__22]

When will some people learn to follow the rules.... its soooo much easier when you have legal documents on you, so much easier.... his voice has changed when asked about legal documents. Save a little something everyday towards legal documentation, how come he has money for goods... doesn't add up, some people just don't care about living above the law.

[@mesiMutepfa]

Passport is 5000R so we rather use the river or the bush

[@kabelomorapa1482]

​@@mesiMutepfahow is it south africans fault wanting you out when you and your people go their country and use their resources without paying a cent or contributing to their economy..

[@Chi__22]

​​@@mesiMutepfa How will bigger doors open for you if you cannot think beyond saving R5000 to help you travel legally and do more than what you are doing right now..., that's the norm globally get with the program we all deal with it. You can save towards R5000, how do people save to purchase a car or whatever, you have transport money plus money for goods but can't save for legal documents. Aspire for bigger things and one of the key things is getting your documents in order rather than breaking the law which catches up with you eventually, right now it may seem things are on your side operating against the law but things change just like seasons change.

[@LSG58]

Address that amount with your government, SA has no involvement in your zim passport feed

[@MissTG06]

my heart bleeds when I listen to such sad stories. He doesn't have money to apply for passport. He has been sent to come and buy 3pockets of potatoes. It's his second trip.. This clearly shows how hard life is in Zimbabwe. Will Zimbabwe ever have financial freedom??? I doubt it.Its gonna take decades to recover. Sorry bhuti 😢

[@VimbaiKufakunesu]

Rip mugabe😢😢😢

[@Kirsten567]

At this point we can make Zimbabwe our 10th province

[@hewantssomespecialtreatmen7163]

Then their government must compensate SA with funds they accumulate from their minerals in all the mines they have.
