Motorists are urged to proceed with caution when crossing the border into Mozambique after another day of political protests hit the country.

The Lebombo border between Mozambique and South African has been reopened after protests in Mozambique flared up, resulting in the closure of the port of entry.The protests followed Mozambique’s national elections on October 9 in which the Frelimo Party took the lead, resulting in claims that the results were rigged.The Mozambican protests are planned from today until Friday.

The flyer said that by 16:00, the participants should collect their vehicles and hoot all the way home. This will then be followed by so-called demonstrations and ‘saucepan protests’ at home. “The ongoing demonstrations have led to the partial closure of the road, affecting the movement of trucks.
