Government engages expert for Beitbridge border post

Government says it plans to engage a consultant to reorganize Beitbridge border post by the end of March to plug leakages.

Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa said the government was in the process of upgrading the border post to international standards, but it was necessary to put in place interim measures to alleviate the current challenges and also take advantage of the strategic position of the border post.

Chinamasa said Treasury would identify a company to install a closed circuit television system that will be used to monitor adherence to border procedures by Zimra and other agencies.

The company will report to the Zimra board chairperson and the minister.
