These three Zimbabwean men struggle to remain in South Africa while waiting for the Department of Home Affairs to grant them political asylum. Because the majority of Zimbabweans who have come to South Africa are male, South Africans have stereotyped them as economic migrants --- males who work illegally in South Africa to send money back home. The crisis in Zimbabwe has produced a flood of males leaving their wives and families behind in Zimbabwe to make their way to South Africa and other bordering countries.
