Deputy Minister Nzuza to visit SA, Botswana border crossing point
The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza will visit the community crossing point between South Africa and Botswana in Tshidilamolomo, North West. The Deputy Minister will be accompanied by senior representatives from the government of Botswana.
The Community Crossing Point was borne out of discussions between South Africa and Botswana as a mechanism to facilitate movement of travellers from communities that straddle two countries where a port of entry would be at a further distance. In this regard, the closest port of entry would be Ramatlabama, which is over two hours away by car.
The Tshidilamolomo Crossing Point enables relatives to cross the international border for family visits without having to travel to a port of entry. Many in these communities need to cross the borderline on a weekly, or even daily basis to study, work, shop and visit family members.
