Independent Online (IOL)

As travellers return to South Africa, the Border Management Authority (BMA) is gearing up to tackle the issue of illegal immigration head-on. In a bid to prevent undocumented migrants from entering the country, the BMA is working in tandem with its Zimbabwean counterparts to ensure that all border crossings are above board and in accordance with the law. With the aim of maintaining national security and upholding immigration laws, the BMA is set to clamp down on any attempts at illegal entry. The authority's efforts are part of a broader strategy to manage the country's borders effectively, using a combination of technology, intelligence gathering, and collaboration with neighbouring countries to prevent illegal activities such as human trafficking and smuggling. By doing so, the BMA aims to safeguard the rights and interests of South African citizens, while also ensuring that legitimate travellers can cross the border without undue hassle.
