Department of Home Affairs will deploy 200 border guards

On Thursday, the Department of Home Affairs will deploy 200 Border Management Authority (BMA) border guards in Musina, Limpopo.

The newly recruited members of the border guard will be deployed at the identified five vulnerable segments of the borderline, working together with members of the South African National Defence Force.

The Authority will tighten border management by implementing an integrated and coordinated approach in the border management environment.

The department adds that the BMA will play a pivotal role in tackling border security challenges impacting the country and its neighbours, such as uncoordinated traveller processing, cross-border criminality, illegal crossings and undue delays in the facilitation of movement of goods and services.

“The BMA model will pave the way for the creation of smart border posts and systems and advance trade facilitation in the region.”
