Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

Under the Immigration Regulations, a residence permit may be issued to the spouse or a minor child of a resident, or to the mother, father, grandparent or other dependent of a resident where the resident is able to maintain that person and undertakes to do so; a resident means any person lawfully within Zimbabwe other than for direct transit through Zimbabwe or a temporary visit. If a residence permit ceases to be valid, the holder and all persons authorised to enter Zimbabwe with the holder under the permit must leave Zimbabwe unless otherwise authorised to remain. The official source does not state the work rights of family members.
