Government is looking to the private sector to assist in upgrading South Africa's land ports with neighbouring countries.

The upgrades will assist in improving regional trade between the Southern Africa Development Community , stop the illegal movement of goods and people, and assist in effective migration between the countries, according to the Department of Home Affairs.

These include Beitbridge linking SA to Zimbabwe, the Lembombo border post between SA and Mozambique, Maseru Bridge between SA and Lesotho, Ficksburg between SA and Lesotho, Kopfontein between South Africa and Botswana, and Oshoek between SA and Eswatini. According to Motsoaledi, South Africa's land ports of entry are in a dire state with increasing volumes of regional and international trade at these ports being"stifled", leading to congestion.The South African side of the border looks like an informal settlement while the [neighbouring country's] side looks like Sandton [...] Take a visit to the Lebombo border post in Mozambique where you will see trucks are lined up for kilometres, bumber-to-bumper at hours on end on the N4.

"Our [current] method of managing trucks is via sampling where trucks are selected on the basis of risk profile. We are looking for a prospective company to install the latest technology including gamma ray technology to pick up illegal cigaretters, paper money and [undocumented] human beings."
