The Border Management Authority says it made the decision following reports of vehicles being torched on the Mozambican side of the border.
JOHANNESBURG - Travellers between South Africa and Mozambique have been urged to avoid the Lebombo border post on Tuesday morning after all activity was halted at the point of entry overnight.
“We advise all stakeholders to suspend travel through Lebombo port of entry until further notice. Alternative routes to Mozambique must be used where feasible, at the moment until the situation has stabilised.”However, allegations of vote rigging sparked violent demonstrations. The deadly protests continue to disrupt activities in Mozambique – almost a month after citizens cast their ballots.
What’s important to note is that before citizens took to the polls, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance highlighted so-called “ghost voters” in seven of the country’s 10 provinces.Frelimo’s triumph was quickly labelled fraudulent by the opposition, causing widespread retaliation.
