Lebombo border post remains operational, says BMA

The Acting Commissioner of the Border Management Authority (BMA), Jane Thupana, on Friday received a situational report on operations at the Lebombo Port of Entry.

The report follows engagements with their Mozambican counterparts at the Ressano Garcia Port of Entry and an in loco visit by the BMA Port Commander to assess the situation on the ground. 

The BMA was informed of sporadic tensions and protests in Ressano Garcia, following the announcement of the election results in Mozambique. 

Ressano Garcia, a small township in the Maputo province of Mozambique, is located very close to Lebombo Port of Entry. 

Thupana confirmed that the Lebombo border post has not been affected and remains operational with both the movement of people and goods being facilitated as normal. 

“The travellers were concerned about the tensions and hesitations were noticed when crossing the border, which has the potential to create long queues at Lebombo port,” Commissioner Thupana said. 

“The BMA team supported by other law enforcement authorities are on the ground to manage any movement blockages. 

“An alert has been issued for travellers to avoid night travel due to the current situation. However, should the situation worsen and become unsafe for travellers, the BMA would inform the travellers according. 

“We reiterate that the border remains open,” Thupana added. 

The authority said it was a priority to ensure efficient trade facilitation and movements of persons at the Lebombo Port of Entry. 

It said it would provide updates on any developments as they arise. – SAnews.gov.za

  1. Fun South African Fact: South Africa is home to the world’s longest wine route: Route 62. It spans an impressive 850 kilometres and the excellent wineries along the way are a must-visit for lovers of fine wine! You can even enjoy the winelands on a day trip from Cape Town. Travel 40-min to an hour outside of the city centre to enjoy decadent wine tastings and even wander through some of the beautiful wine farms and estates! Suburbs like Durbanville and Constantia are even closer to the city centre and are also home to many exceptional wineries.

    \”Who does that seat belong to?\” asked his neighbour.

    \”It\’s for my wife.\”

    \”But why isn\’t she here?\”

    \”She died.\”

    \”So why didn\’t you give the ticket to one of your friends?\”

    \”They\’ve all gone to the funeral.\”
