So you can imagine, goods and people from as far afield as Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe linking up with South Africa through Beitbridge.
The border post is as a result the melting point of cultures from the central, east and southern Africa and languages like Swahili, Nyanja, Chewa, Lozi, English, Makonde, Shona, Ndebele, French, Venda, Tsonga, Sotho, Zulu, Portuguese, infact they are too many to mention, those who stay at Beitbridge will tell you Africa meets here.
Taking the above into consideration, the myth is Beitbridge border post is very difficult to go through, the truth is, if given its due respect, Beitbridge like any other port of entry or exit, its very easy to go through.
Through the many forums like https://www.facebook.com/crossingbeitbridge we have tried to disseminate information on how best to do so without losing your goods and or money.
Our wish in writing this blog is to enable you the traveller to be able to know what to do and what to avoid when you are at the border, if you are able to cross the border without problems after using the information we would have shared, we believe we all would have won.
