SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC STILL LOW

When Should I Start Travelling To SA?

Over the past few days we have noted with interest that southbound traffic is quite low during the day except in the evening when buses from all the hinterland arrive at almost the same time.

This has resulted in congestion during the night but the Zimbabwe side has been so efficient in processing passports as they are doing so per entire bus at a time.

Additional processing points have been set up under the departure shed and the system seems to be working so far until come the peak period which we forecast to be the end of the weekend of 7 January 2018 till the weekend of 15 January 2018.

We have seen the Zimbabwe border authorities attending meetings to ensure the smooth flow of traffic going back to South Africa. We believe South African border authorities are also doing the same.

We are urging travellers to start their journeys early so that they get to the border early and be on the lookout for livestock and broken down vehicles on the road.

Guys, drive to arrive alive and please, remember speed kills.

Happy travelling.
