Beitbridge border post traffic congestion still at gridlock

Queues of vehicles at the congested Beitbridge border post into Zimbabwe now stretch to the town of Musina about 14 kilometres from the border post. Chairperson of the Beitbridge Transport and Clearing Agency Association, Eugene Khoza, attributes the congestion to the curfew to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus as many travellers arrive at the border at almost the same time. The Zimbabwean side of the border closes at 18h00 due to the curfew forcing travellers to spent hours waiting. They often sleep in their vehicles waiting for the border to open. We spoke to the spokesperson for the Department of Transport in Limpopo, Matome Moremi-Taueastoala.
