Hundreds of freight trucks queue along the corridor leading to the Beitbridge Port of Entry as congestion on the Zimbabwean side of the border causes significant delays in cargo movement.
The Border Management Authority (BMA) and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) have moved to reassure freight operators and motorists that the long queues of trucks on the corridor leading to the Beitbridge Port of Entry are not the result of delays on the South African side of the border.
The two agencies said all operations at South Africa's busiest land border post were functioning efficiently, with no disruptions to immigration, customs or inspection services.
"The BMA and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) wish to clarify that the current delays are not caused by operations on the South African side of the border," BMA said.
According to the authorities, all key border functions are operating normally.
