| dc.description.abstract | This paper analyses the reasons why illegal border jumping by Zimbabweans into South Africa still occurs in the light of favourable policy reforms that facilitate legal migration. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, group discussions and key informant interviews. Secondary data was also collected from relevant authorities’ records and through extensive review of relevant literature. The study found and concluded that the major reasons identified for perennial illegal migration were lack of proper documentation, the limited number of visiting days given to Zimbabweans entering South Africa, travelling with undocumented minors, sudden events such as death, the lack of liquid cash and the current favourable asylum laws. The study has several recommendations among which : the urgent need to review the migration management systems of the two countries and the region as a whole and the need for measures to deal with institutionalised corruption for both countries. | |
