The Grobler’s Bridge port of entry flooded.
The Border Management Authority (BMA) has announced the resumption of operations at the Grobler’s Bridge and Stockpoort Ports of Entry with Botswana following temporary suspensions due to heavy rains.
The BMA earlier this month suspended all operations at the two ports due to severe flooding.
Operations at the Bray Port of Entry remain suspended due to persistent rains in the area, however, the Port Management Committee’s assessment indicates that operations are expected to resume over the weekend, subject to further evaluations.
The BMA’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Mmemme Mogotsi says, “At Groblersbridge, water levels have completely subsided and the ground has now dried sufficiently to support the weight of cargo trucks passing through the port. The Port Management Committee has conducted a thorough inspection of key operational areas and is satisfied with the current conditions. As a result, Grobler’s Bridge Port of Entry will officially resume operations today by two o’clock (14:00). Meanwhile, operations at Stockpoort Port of Entry have already resumed this week.”
