BORDER UPDATES: CONGESTION EITHER DIRECTION

This morning the border was very busy and we expect the situation to worsen late this afternoon as more South African based motorists return to their different bases.



The sheer number of southbound travellers has chocked the border and as much as the border officials are trying their best the situation is critical from time to time.







We have noticed that motorists are all getting to the border all at the same time and in most cases its from late afternoon and at night its worse.

There has been near chaotic situations as drivers jostle to squeeze their way to be the first one to be served.

The situation looks like its likely to worsen as more travellers will be coming through the border after the holidays.

Northbound has also been busy with mainly children coming back from visiting parents in South Africa after holidays. 

Zimbabwe weekend shoppers have also contributed to the long queues.

It is our hope that this period will be handled smoothly by authorities and with promises of improvements in the pipeline we hope this will be the last of the nightmares of travellers.

Happy travelling.
