# The Department of Home Affairs Department is currently undertaking an extensive series of nationwide public consultations regarding the Zimbabwean as well as the Lesotho Exemption Permit. Following previous legal challenges, the department is strictly adhering to the court’s directive that any final decision be reached only after a rigorous and inclusive consultation process. It says the primary objective of these consultations is to gather meaningful input from all affected stakeholders. The department says this includes assessing the potential impact of any future decisions on permit holders, their dependants and the broader South African public.
