South Africa and Botswana to launch community crossing point
The Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, and the Minister of Labour and Home Affairs in Botswana, Edwin Batshu, will launch the Tshidilamolomo Community Crossing Point on the borderline to facilitate movement of people in the area.
South Africa and Botswana have a unique case where two Tshidilamolomo villages are situated on either side of the two Southern African Development Community (SADC) neighbours. The launch of the Community Crossing Point will enable relatives to cross the international border for family visits without having to first travelling distances to a port of entry to do so.
Members of the media are invited as follows:
Date: Tuesday, 8 December 2015
Venue: Departure from Tshidilamolomo Tribal Community Hall to borderline
Time: 09h00
