Staff beefed up at Beitbridge ahead of Zimbabwe polls
The Department of Home Affairs will deploy more staff at the Beitbridge border post in Limpopo.
Thousands of Zimbabwean citizens are expected to head back home to vote in that country’s presidential elections on Monday.
The department is expecting high volumes at the border post throughout the weekend.
Spokesperson Thabo Mokgola says 37 additional officials have been deployed and will remain at the border post until August 3.
He adds the deployment of additional staff will hopefully help ease congestion.
"Additional staff deployments comes within the context of the determination and commitment of the department to ensure delivery of efficient and professional immigration services," says Mokgola.
