Farai Dziva|There is no respite for Zimbabwean citizens hoping to obtain passports as confusion continues at various registry offices across the country.

Well placed sources have revealed only 15 emergency passports are being processed per day, resulting in meandering queues at the registry offices.

Last week government officials in the registry department claimed technical glitches due to systems challenges had been fixed.

In Masvingo hundreds of people hoping to obtain passports left registry offices in dismay after being told to wait for at least another month in spite of the fact that they should have collected their documents last year.

“This is beyond our control, our hands are tied mate,” a government official at the registry offices in Masvingo lazily concluded.
