The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Njabulo Nzuza will visit the Kwa-Phuza Borderline bordering South Africa and Mozambique in Manguzi, Kwazulu-Natal to assess progress made in establishing a community crossing point between the two countries.
The idea of a community crossing point was borne out of discussions between South Africa and various neighbouring countries as a mechanism to facilitate movement of travelers from communities that straddle two countries where a port of entry would be at a further distance.
Gate 6, as it is widely known, is a trading spot for vendors from South Africa and Mozambique and has been earmarked for the establishment of the community crossing point to smooth the movement of community members 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.
Members of the media are invited as follows:
Date: Saturday, 10 August 2019
Venue: Gate 6, Manguzi
Time: 10h00
