BMA says it has processed more than 8,200 foreign nationals through Beitbridge over two weeks, while enforcing strict documentation checks and cross-border permit requirements to ensure orderly repatriation operations continue.
The Border Management Authority (BMA) says it has processed 8,230 foreign nationals through the Beitbridge Port of Entry as part of ongoing repatriation efforts between 12 and 24 June.
However, the authority has warned that transport operators who fail to comply with documentation and cross-border requirements are delaying operations at the border.
Between 12 and 24 June, the BMA processed 6,709 Malawian nationals transported in 112 buses and a further 1,521 Zimbabwean nationals transported in 26 buses.
BMA spokesperson Mmemme Mogotsi said all foreign nationals arriving for repatriation were processed "in the presence of officials from their respective embassies to verify identity, travel documentation and compliance with applicable immigration requirements."
