On Sunday, the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NatJoints) maintained it had to intensify its operations along the border because of the ongoing unrest which has already left 33 people dead and enabled over 1,500 prisoners to escape.
The South African government has beefed up security personnel along the South Africa- Mozambique border to prevent and combat any crimes that may arise as a result of the unrest.
“South Africa remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and upholding regional stability,” the statement read. “These engagements reflect the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect that underpin the relationship between South Africa and Mozambique,” NatJoints said.
