The BMA officials checking cars before crossing the border.
The Border Management Authority (BMA) says it has enlisted the help of health specialists to examine returning travellers at the Beitbridge border post in Musina, Limpopo. It says the aim of the screening is to curb the spread of communicable diseases in the country.
BMA spokesperson Mmeme Mogotsi says collaborating with other departments is key to ensuring the smooth processing of travellers.
“Our immigration specialists are also in their deployment, health specialists, our agriculture and biosecurity and law enforcement will be searching and looking at everything the travellers are carrying so that we don’t import any prohibited substance into the country,” says Mogotsi.
He says that they are also working very closely with their health specialist and checking all the travellers to ensure that they don’t import any communicable diseases that could affect South Africa negatively as a country.
