South Africa adds armored vehicles to patrol Zimbabwe border

South Africa's Border Management Authority (BMA) has added guards and armoured vehicles to patrol the border along the Limpopo River between South Africa and Zimbabwe. 

This comes amid continued smuggling across the border.  

BMA Assistant Commissioner, Balene Mkhabela says the vehicles which are suitable for all terrain use were donated by the private sector.  

"We are working in collaborating with them, they supplied us with three vehicles that are able to drive on the rough terrain on the border line and the third vehicle can actually drive at a rough terrain and it can even drive  in the water, so at the river there we manage to catch this people because they use the very same water it can drive in the water so we are able to intercept and cut the self made channels."
