Africa-Press – Mozambique. The Machipanda border post in Manica province, the main crossing point between Mozambique and Zimbabwe, will start operating 24 hours a day from December this year, against the current eight.
The director general of the National Migration Service, Fulgencio Seda, said that the governments of the two countries were studying ways to make the second largest border post in Mozambique more convenient.
Seda says that the measure could alleviate the frustrations of the border post’s users, and accelerate the process of transporting goods.
Currently, the border post, situated in the centre of the country, is open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., a time schedule that imposes constraints, especially on long-distance truck drivers.
On the Zimbabwean side, the border post is known as the Forbes crossing.
