South African border agents have seized a bunch of smuggled goods heading into Zimbabwe. The Border Management Authority says they grabbed nearly a million Rand worth of stuff since the start of the month. This includes food items, over two hundred car batteries, and a truck.
The busts happened around the Beitbridge crossing and the Limpopo River. Officials used new surveillance tech set up for the busy holiday season as part of a pilot project. They partnered with a local defense firm to boost monitoring at the border, a known hotspot for illegal activity. Commonly smuggled items between the two nations range from basic groceries and alcohol to stolen vehicles and minerals.
