BMA Commissioner Dr Michael Masiapato
The Border Management Authority (BMA) Commissioner, Dr Michael Masiapato, is set to brief the media on Sunday on cross‑border movement during the Easter period.
The briefing will focus on traveller volumes, trends and interceptions at South Africa’s ports of entry.
The Easter holiday period is traditionally one of the busiest for all the country’s ports of entry.
In recent years, the BMA has intensified operations to curb illegal crossings, contraband smuggling and human trafficking.
Masiapato is expected to outline how Operation Hi‑Tivise was implemented over the holiday period and assess its impact on border security.
