Illegal Zimbabweans in SA have til August

Immigrants are unpopular in lots of places, not just the US.

from the Times (SA)

"...On Wednesday the department announced that a moratorium on the deportation of Zimbabweans who don't have the proper papers to be in the country, would stay in place until August 1, to allow for the 275,762 applications for the legalisation of their stay in South Africa to be processed...".

most are "economic refugees" who fled Zim.

and then there is this: from an article about some Chinese detained for bad visas:

Zimbabweans are currently up in arms over the influx of Chinese and Nigerian business people who have taken up most of the shop space in the country’s main towns and cities.
