Plans under way to build one-stop border between SA, Zimbabwe: BMA

BMA
Commissioner
Dr.
Mike
Masiapato
says
the
border
will
see
travelers
and
cargo
trucks
being
processed
at
only
one
point.

Masiapato
says
they
are
also
working
on
building
another
bridge
on
the
western
side
of
the
Limpopo
River,
specifically
for
cargo
trucks.

He
says
this
implementation
will
significantly
reduce
congestion
at
the
port
of
entry.

“The
implementation
of
the
one
stop
border
post,
one
of
the
key
strategic
interventions
and
decisions
of
the
government
of
South
Africa,
so
that
is
very
much
fundamental
where
we
are
sitting
now.
The
negotiations
are
under
way
with
successful
bidders
in
as
far
as
the
public
private
partnership
is
concerned.
So,
on
that
basis
we
can
indicate
that
during
the
current
year
2026
we
are
going
to
start
seeing
that
particular
work
gaining
traction
to
the
extent
that
there
will
be
construction
sometime
this
year
around
the
last
quarter
of
the
year,”
says
Masiapato.
