Home Affairs Dept gearing up for traffic at Beitbridge border

Source: EWN, 27/12/2018

JOHANNESBURG - The Home Affairs Department says it`s collaborating
with neighbouring countries to ensure that things go smoothly at the
border when people return to the country from their holiday
destination from next week.
The department says traffic volumes are expected to increase again at
border posts from Sunday, with some hoping to make it across the
border in time for New Year`s Day, while others make their way back
to the country.
Speaking to Phemelo Motene on Talk Radio 702, the department
spokesperson Siya Qoza says high traffic volumes that were
experienced at Beitbridge were a result of difficulties from the
Zimbabwean side in processing documents.
â€œWe expect higher volumes of traffic from 31 December, as people
leave for the new year or returning to the country,â€ says Qoza.
