Home Affairs to extend operating hours over Easter at key entry points
20 March 2016 – East Coast Radio
The department says more officials and senior managers have been
deployed to help streamline 1 of the country`s busiest times of the
year when it comes to the movement of travellers. The province`s Kosi
Bay office on the north coast will be open for an extra 2 hours a day
– from 7 in the morning until 6 at night.
The longer operating hours will continue until the 30th of March. Home
Affairs` Mkuseli Apleni says the extra hours will help with traveller
volumes.
"We trusting that by adding more hours to facilitate the movement of
persons and goods we will minimise the burden of long queues and undue
delays while making travel pleasant, he said.
"However success in this regard also depends on people travelling
gradually over the entire Easter period and importantly with drivers
observing religiously all the rules of the road," Apleni said.
