The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) says it has deployed adequate personnel and material resources at all the country’s borders in anticipation of increased volumes of human and vehicular traffic this festive season.
In a statement on Friday, ZIMRA said it has deployed more workers to Beitbridge and Plumtree which are usually the busiest inland ports of entry during peak periods and major holidays. It said:
<blockquote>
We have put in place measures at all our border posts to efficiently manage the seasonal influx of travellers and traffic over the festive season.
Traditionally, traffic increases at Beitbridge and Plumtree border posts between mid-December and the first week of January.
This consists mainly of private travellers being Zimbabweans visiting their families, visitors coming to visit friends or relatives, tourists on holiday and other nationals transiting to destinations beyond our borders, all using either private or public transport.
… On the software front, the electronic Temporary Import Permits (e-TIP)) application has been enhanced to ensure that the motoring foreign travellers can easily log on and complete their applications prior to their arrival at the port, thus minimising dwell time at the border.
Furthermore, the two borders close to Plumtree – Mphoengs and Maitengwe – have also been duly capacitated to receive significant private traffic in an effort to reduce the load on the Plumtree Border Post.
Travellers can thus make a choice on which of these ports of entry is closest to their location and plan accordingly.
</blockquote>
It is estimated that Beitbridge and Plumtree handle over seven million and three million travellers annually, respectively. | <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/additional-staff-deployed-at-borders-authorities-ready-for-festive-season-traffic/">The Sunday News</a>

Additional Human, Material Resources Deployed At Borders -ZIMRA

Zimbabwe police national spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi has said police impounded buses, commuter omnibuses and a Toyota Hiace for smuggling people and goods from South Africa. Nyathi said the passengers had no passports. Pindula News presents Nyathi’s statement.  
<blockquote>
<h2>ZRP RESPONSE TO THE ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION AND IMPOUNDING OF BUSES IN BEITBRIDGE</h2>
With reference to the recent social media post which went viral on the 3rd of November 2021, on alleged bus crew and passengers who protested alleged corrupt order by members of the Security Services at Chicago area along Harare-Beitbridge Rd. The Police set the record straight and reports that buses were indeed involved in smuggling acts and were impounded after a tip-off had been received from concerned citizens.
The listed buses and vehicles were then handed over to ZIMRA to ensure the appropriate customs and excise laws were applied: 
• Munhenzva bus registration number F203BF GPV with Trailer ABB 1317, had suspected smuggled groceries and two (2) passengers without passports who were charged for exit by evasion. 
• Lexliner bus registration number HM 04GC GP, had smuggled goods and thirteen (13) passengers without passports. 
• Blue Liner bus with registration HM 70DD GP, had suspected smuggled goods and three (3) passengers without passports. 
• Sable Class bus with personalized number plates TRUE GOD, had two (2) passengers without passports and smuggled goods. 
• Charazim Travel bus registration number ABQ 8745, had suspected smuggled goods.
• Regional Boundary bus with registration number HN 97FL GP, had suspected smuggled goods and five (5) passengers without passports. 
• Nissan Caravan registration number AEP 4454 with suspected smuggled goods was picked by a drone and intercepted by Mounted Units. 
• Toyota Hiace Registration number AFK 9917, was intercepted at Area 40 with smuggled goods. 
• Nissan Caravan AFD 8084, with smuggled goods was intercepted at Pande Minel. 
• Nissan Caravan AFD 7102, with smuggled goods was intercepted at Pande Mine 2. 
We warn bus operators and crew against smuggling and also raising unsubstantiated allegations in order to get sympathy from the public. Bus Operators are now posing a security risk with the border jumpers whom they are carrying into the country and with no COVID-19 protocols being followed at all. This militates against the Government’s quest to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The Police will ensure that the law takes its course without fear or favour.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Republic Police and other Security Services will ensure that action is taken on any security services member involved in corruption.

Police Arrest Freeman Ndudzo Over R1.2 Million Heist, Armed Robbery Cases

South Africans based in Musina yesterday blocked traffic from crossing to and from Zimbabwe as they protest the government of Zimbabwe’s delay in reopening the border, the Chronicle reports.
A source that spoke to the publication about the Musina Protest said taxi operators lined up their vehicles at the border in a manner that prevented traffic from crossing on either side:
<blockquote>They are saying the rigid trucks (light commercial) and other Zimbabwean registered vehicles must not be allowed entry into that country until Zimbabwe fully reopens its borders.
In addition, they are demanding that the cross-border transporters known as Omalayitsha be allowed to transport goods into Zimbabwe</blockquote>
Another source spoke to the publication and said the South African side of the border had to close as they were afraid the protest would spill over into the border.
Taxi operators are reportedly demanding that the government reopen the border as they rely on traffic from Zimbabwe as the primary source of their business according to an agent that spoke to Newsday:
<blockquote>They want the Zimbabwean government to open its side of the border to give them economic activity. Minibuses which ply the Musina-Johannesburg route rely mostly on Zimbabweans.
The minibus and taxi operators believe that by not opening its border with South Africa, Harare was killing their source of livelihood.</blockquote>
A demonstrator at the Musina Protest that spoke to Newsday said why were airports open and borders closed:
<blockquote>We are also questioning why airports are not closed. Is the law only for the poor? Let them also close the airport</blockquote>

South Africans In Musina Protest Against ED's Decision To Not Open Borders

There has been low activity at the country’s busiest land border the Beitbridge border post after South Africa opened their borders, the Chronicle reports.
Border officials said less than 100 people used the border between 6 AM and 10 AM today. This comes after South Africa opened 20 land borders after easing its lockdown restrictions that were imposed just after the festive season to curb spreading the virus during the COVID-19 second wave.
Zimbabwe will according to the home affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe open the borders after consulting the national COVID-19 taskforce:
<blockquote>Our decisions pertaining to opening of borders are informed by the situation obtaining in our country. The national Covid-19 taskforce monitors the situation on the ground and makes recommendations to Cabinet. The Ministry of Health and Child Care also monitors and assesses the situation and makes decisions on that basis.</blockquote>

Low Activity At Beitbridge Border Post As SA Opens Borders

South Africa is set to re-open the Beitbridge border on the 15th of February after it was closed for a month amid a coronavirus resurgence in the country.
15 February is the date referenced by the Department of Home Affairs, which provided a detailed reopening plan to parliament on Tuesday morning.
The Border Management Agency (BMA) told the Home Affairs Portfolio Committee of the South African parliament on Tuesday that it had put plans in place in preparation for the re-opening of the Beitbridge Border.
BMA commissioner Gene Ravele told MPs that some of the measures being implemented include limiting the number of haulage trucks in the exit queue at any given time, deploying additional healthcare workers, and a ticket system for rapid Covid-19 tests. He said:
<blockquote>We’re going to keep the queue (for trucks) on the N1 at 700 meters.
If the queue becomes more than 700 meters, we will divert trucks to truck stops…
We spoke to the service providers and they’ve confirmed that everything will be there by no later than February 14.
We’re having final discussions with the department of health and National Health Laboratories to look into increased capacity to be deployed.</blockquote>
Ravele also said additional holding areas provided by the Musina Local Municipality in December will be used to accommodate any overflow from the truck stop nearest to Beitbridge border post.
He added that these additional holding sites will be equipped with ablution facilities and running water.
Ravele also said all persons entering South Africa from abroad have to present a negative Covid-19 test conducted within a window of 72 hours.
This requirement is believed to be one of the reasons why there was congestion at borders since conducting tests in neighbouring countries is a bit expensive than having tests at the border.
For instance, in Lesotho and Zimbabwe, in that order, these tests cost about R800 and US$60 while testing stations managed by South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Services offer testing for just R170.

Reports that the immigrants who were headed for South Africa were arrested on Monday around 4 am as they tried to skip the country’s border.
The immigrants had entered Zimbabwe illegally. Sources they were arrested on a footpath near the old border post offices and were charged for exit by evasion under the immigration act. A security official:
<blockquote>They were taken to court, where they appeared before Miss Vavariro Nhau who warned, cautioned and released them to immigration authorities for further management.
After which, arrangements were made that they are kept at the main police station pending transportation to Harare. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) sponsored their transportation under the regional facility for stranded migrants.</blockquote>
The official added that when a Zupco bus arrived in Beitbridge on Thursday, it was discovered that all the migrants had absconded.
<div class="entry-content" id="article-content">
The story reminds of a similar incident that happened last year when two Malawian border jumpers who had tested positive to Covid-19 escaped from isolation.
One of the escapees was intercepted by security agents as he sought transport to Malawi at the closed Dulivadzimu Long-distance Bus Terminus while his accomplice was never found.

23 Malawian Border Jumpers Vanish From Police Station

South Africa has sentenced a Zimbabwean woman to 15 years after she was convicted of smuggling explosives worth R168 000 into South Africa.
The woman, Mercy Rifundo, was arrested on August 17 last year by South Africa’s Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) in Limpopo soon after entering into Zimbabwe through Beitbridge Border Post.
She was also fined R20 000 for violating South Africa’s immigration laws, of travelling without any valid documents.
The Hawks have since the beginning of the Covid-19 induced lockdown been cracking down on drug peddlers, smugglers, and fraudsters around Limpopo province.
Over six people, mostly Zimbabweans, were jailed around Limpopo for smuggling explosives. Hawks spokesperson for Limpopo province, Captain Matimba Maluleke said Rifundo was busted while carrying 590 units of blasting cartridges.
The Hawks acting Provincial Head for Limpopo, Brigadier Angie Matlabe commended the investigation and prosecution teams for their efforts.
Recently, two Zimbabwean men were also jailed for an effective 15 years by the Musina Regional Court for smuggling explosives worth R470 000 into South Africa.
The smuggling of explosives into South Africa through the Beitbridge border has become a perennial headache for border authorities.
It is understood that these explosives are used for ATM bombings or illegal mining activities in the neighbouring country.
Over 20 people have been arrested for possessing explosives along the Beitbridge border in the last 24 months.

Smuggling Zimbabwean Woman Jailed 15 Years In South Africa

Zimbabwe on Sunday announced that it will be closing the Beitbridge border it shares with South Africa between 10 PM and 6 AM.
Officials said the decision follows new Covid-19 restrictions imposed by South Africa last week, including a curfew between 11 PM and 4 AM.
The border re-opened to the public on December 1 for the first time since the end of March when both countries went into a coronavirus-induced lockdown.
Zimbabwe’s assistant regional immigration officer in charge of Beitbridge, Nqobile Ncube, said the curfew restrictions would not affect cargo and other essential service providers who are exempt. He said:
<blockquote>Post-December 1, our curfew times were set between 10PM and 6AM. Yes, from December 1 we were not implementing that because the border was operating 24 hours daily, but then South Africa implemented their curfew.
It’s effectively because of the implementation of the South African curfew that we also now suddenly have got to employ that curfew aspect because there is no way we can clear traffic and have it stuck in no-man’s-land.</blockquote>
This is happening when authorities are already overwhelmed by volumes of incoming traffic tens of thousands of Zimbabweans living in South Africa are returning home for the Christmas holidays.
Ncube indicated that Zimbabwe recorded a surge in human traffic at the border beginning Friday as many companies in South Africa closed for the holidays.

Beitbridge Border Post Will Not Be Operating For 24 Hours Due To Curfew - Authorities

3 ZIMRA EMployees were arrested and hauled before the court after they cleared 4 fuel tankers in Beitbridge allowing the importers to bypass paying duty on the fuel, the Chronicle reports.
The trio Fananidzai Maramba, Takunda Nyambi, and Kudakwashe Tinonetsana was arrested on 7 December and they appeared before the Beitbridge Resident Magistrate, Mr. Toyindepi Zhou charged with criminal abuse of office and they were remanded out of custody on $15 000 bail each.
It is the state’s case that:
<blockquote>On December 7 at around 2PM, the trio reported for duty on the imports commercial section.
Maramba and Nyambi were deployed to the commercial imports scan point while Tinonetsana was stationed at the last man where trucks are checked for compliance before exiting the border.
The court further heard that among other duties, the accused persons receive customs imports documents including Bills of Entries on all commercial cargo and verify their authenticity in the Zimra online clearance system.
However, at around 7PM, four Bakers Tankers carrying unleaded petrol arrived from South Africa being cleared by Moyo.
The accused persons are alleged to have hatched a plan to facilitate the importation of the fuel using fake customs documents.
Mr Mugwagwa alleges that when Moyo handed over the fake documents to Maramba and Nyambi at the scanning, they processed them manually instead of using the online facility as required.
Moyo again tendered the documents to Tinonetsana who allegedly used the same method to give the tankers the green light to leave the border.
The State alleges the tankers were intercepted by alert members of the Zimra anti-smuggling unit while about to leave the border post.
The documents were then verified online and it was proved that they were fake, further investigations also revealed that the trio had not used the online method to process fuel clearance.</blockquote>
Each tanker would have paid $20 000 in import duty were they not assisted by the trio, they were arrested by the Zimra anti-smuggling team which intercepted the tankers and discovered they did not pay duty.
