Sampofu was speaking at the inauguration of new immigration offices and staff housing at Kasika and Impalila Island in the Kabbe South Constituency on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The event featured Minister Albert Kawana as the keynote speaker.<\/p>\n<p>In his welcoming remarks, Sampofu emphasized that the Zambezi Region\u2019s geographical position poses unique challenges for the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security. He highlighted the importance of establishing infrastructure to ensure the safety of residents and migrants in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The new facilities are strategically located in a region where people frequently cross borders to and from Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Sampofu said that setting up crossing points in \u201chotspot areas\u201d would help reduce illegal crossings and related cross-border criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>He further pointed out that the vastness and porous nature of the borders in the region necessitate identifying more crossing points to support social and economic activities in the area.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style
