IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS: Good morning friends, please take note of the following; 1) Travelling to Zimbabwe while waiting for the outcome of the ZSP Application:--there is a need for a Department of Home Affairs circular/memorandum with a clear date for people to come back. That is critical because it will alley the anxiety that people have. We will follow-up with the Department on this. 2) World Social Forum on Migration(WSFM):- from 5-8 December 2014, at Constitutional Hill, Johannesburg, there will be a gathering of different people drawn from all over the world to discuss Migration issues.

We are glad to say the Migrant Workers Association -SA (MWA-SA) has played a very big role in organising this event. Our Secretary General, Dr V.
