Violence spilled over and affected traffic, with multiple vehicles vandalised or destroyed on the Mozambican side of the border.<\/p>\n<p>However Mozambican authorities have since addressed issues at the Ressano Garcia port of entry on their side of the border, allowing the movement of both people and cargo to resume.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe port is now open for cargo movement after the Mozambican authorities managed to address challenges with their systems to facilitate processing through the Ressano Garcia port of entry into Mozambique. The initial reopening of the port was to manage the movement of people but this morning, the Mozambican authorities worked tirelessly to address cargo systems for smooth border processing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BMA Commissioner Michael Masiapato welcomed news of renewed processing activities on the Mozambican side of the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis development paves the way for the full reopening of the port and enables the BMA and Sars teams to work diligently in clearing the current cargo backlog,\u201d Masiapato said.<\/p>\n<p>The Mozambican conflict has raised concerns about disruptions to the South African economy and calls for intervention from the Southern African Development Community (Sadc).<\/p>\n<p>The Southern Africa Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF) said the destabilisation of the Maputo corridor \u2014 the transport route linking South Africa to Maputo \u2014 had implications for the entire Southern African region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe economic impact of this situation is long term and extends beyond Mozambique to all other countries in the Sadc region but in particular South Africa and Zimbabwe, as halted trade raises the risk of economic setbacks,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe supply chains using the Maputo corridor compete internationally, and the predictability required for ensuring international competitiveness is putting these fragile supply chains at significant risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaputo has long been a vital port for regional and international trade, growing significantly in importance over the last 15 to 20 years as a successful public-private concessionary \u2014 an operating model that has increased capacity, driving growth and investment into Mozambique \u2014 one of the world\u2019s poorest economies.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
