Guys, your best bet would be to engage with people like Julius Malema, Lloyd Shivambu and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi on Twitter, as they are quite vocal and can get attention to this matter.
Their twitter handles are:
@Julius_S_Malema
@FloydShivambu
@MbuyiseniNdlozi
@EFFSouthAfrica
Home Affairs is as slow on Twitter as they are with processing our applications.
#SAVisaZim sounds like a good hashtag.
Masiyeni macomrade. We will lose nothing except our data.

Study permit
@Tatenda, if your other permit expires, you can only apply for the study permit in your home country.
Study permits in the past were taking 3 weeks, but I applied early Nov and was told this week to come back after 2 weeks..making it 6 weeks. Hopefully it'll be out earlier.

Let's complain via twitter
I like the Twitter idea. Let's use #SAVisaZimbabwe and tweet our concerns to @SAHomeAffairs. They seem to respond quicker

Yes I agree...let's use twitter to voice this matter.

As for returning to Zimbabwe. Happy to be back and will try stay. However it's nice to have options.
The same way it's nice to have a UK and USA visa to travel at will. Most of us love our country but we arexpect moving towards global citizenship. Visas and travel need to be easier.

Thank you all... you're all so helpful.

Except some who spread wrong info. I applied for a visa whilexpires in zim. They kept my passport. So plan carefully.
Good luck

Study Visa
Where can I find information on the requirements and costs of applying for a study visa? Is there an official SA embassy in Zimbabwe website?

SACNASP member
Hi. You need to be registered as a Certificated Natural scientist with SACNASP if you want to apply for CSV in Zim. If you were applying in SA on another visa e.g ZSP they might accept.In Zim they will decline you if you are a candidate natural scientist so I suggest you upgrade your membership.
