Beitbridge Border Post is processing around 13,000 people per day as holiday traffic builds up between Zimbabwe and South Africa, and immigration officer Lucky Matyora says authorities have enough staff deployed across all three terminals to handle the incoming surge. The two countries activated a joint traffic management system that runs through mid-January and separates different travel streams permanently while using eGates and the Online Border Management System to speed things up compared to previous years.
The South African Border Management Authority launched its operational plan with extra resources at land ports that will stay open between 16 and 24 hours daily. Traffic normally doubles during holidays from the usual 15,000 travelers and 2,000 light vehicles that move through during quieter periods.
