The past twenty four hours have seen the shifting of the congestion from small cars to buses and trucks spending the best part of the day on traffic queue that is backing up some good two kilometres and which has hardly moved the whole day.
When we spoke to some drivers they were saying since joining the queue they had moved only twice the whole day. They are likely to sleep on the queue having moved about a kilometre in 12 hours.
The reason for the queue for the trucks getting stuck was that the Zimbabwe side is using the export route for trucks to park buses and since morning the area was full with buses resulting in the trucks not being able to pass through.
Small cars seem to have heeded our call for them to travel early and we saw the border getting busy in flash crowds but also quickly getting empty.
Most South African companies are opening for business tomorrow, that is why this weekend was so congested.
Compared with other years, this year seems well managed.
Happy travelling.
