number of corporate workers hired, the corporate permit is cheap; individual work permits cost R1,520 each.38 The corporate permit holder must ensure that the passport (or the ETD) of the foreigner is valid at all times, that the foreigner is employed only in the specific position for which the permit has been issued, and that the foreign worker departs from South Africa upon completion of the job.39 The International Organization for Migration and Zimbabwean migrants At the end of May 2006, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) opened a reception and support center on the Zimbabwean side of the South Africa-Zimbabwe border at Beitbridge. The center, funded by the British government’s Department for International Development, is an inter-ministerial project that will involve the Zimbabwean ministries of health, home affairs, and labor and social welfare.40 The center will also house offices for these ministries.41 A major objective of the center is to provide humanitarian assistance to the growing number of Zimbabwean migrants deported from South Africa. IOM offers all deportees a free meal, medical assessments and information materials on HIV and irregular migration, and entitlement to free basic health care at Beitbridge Hospital upon referral. In addition, the IOM offers free transport and a food pack to deportees who choose to return to their homes.42 The program will also assist the government of Zimbabwe to cope with social problems in Beitbridge that are related to the growing concentration of deportees in the town. In coordination with the Department of Social Welfare in Zimbabwe, the IOM intends to establish an agency “which will facilitate the placement of qualified Zimbabweans (above 18 years and with passports) on commercial farms in Limpopo province of South Africa.”43 In correspondence, the IOM said it will work with nongovernmental organizations like Nkuzi Development Association, to “ensure that those Zimbabweans who choose to work on commercial farms do so legally and are treated fairly.”44 38 Regulations on Fees, June 27, 2005, section 2, http://www.dha.gov.za/documents/IMMIGRATION%20REGULATIONS%20FEES.pdf (accessed July 9, 2006). 39 Immigration Regulations, 2005, Section 3.
