BORDER CONGESTION ALERT


New year's eve 2018, we expect the border to be congested overnight and most likely the rest of the day tomorrow.

This group of travellers is mainly made of South African based motorists who are returning back to their bases at the end of their holidays in Zimbabwe.

The queue is backing up to three kilometres from the border and local police is out in full force manning all intersections with the main road leading to the border to avoid impatient motorists trying to jump the queues.

Buses have a dedicated lane as well into the border.


Zimbabwe Immigration authorities have set up additional passport stamping posts under the departure shed.

We are urging motorists to be patient and not try to jump queues and in the process causing chaos.

Stamping of passports on the South African side is done on per-vehicle-basis, so please remain in your cars and you will be attended to once you get to the passport stamping point (Which is currently the usual departure hall converted to arrivals for holidays purposes). Once you have been attended to please drive out of the border area to make room for other travellers.

Please make sure you get your proper travel documents handy and once stamped make sure that the one you get back is yours.

We wish you guys a happy new year as you will be at the border.

Ciao
