South Africa’s bold border overhaul: A R12.5 billion game changer against illegal immigration | SA News

South Africa’s bold move to curb illegal immigration and the movement of illicit goods through technology, one-stop border posts, and the upgrade of key land ports of entry has been hailed as a step in the right direction towards curbing the scourge.

This was after the Border Management Authority (BMA), an entity of the Department of Home Affairs, announced successful bidders for the R12.5 billion tender to reconstruct and upgrade the country’s six major ports of entry. 

These are Beitbridge, Lebombo, Oshoek, Kopfontein, Maseru Bridge, and Ficksburg, and work is scheduled to start later in 2026 or early 2027. It will be completed in two to three years in different parts.
