Scores of buses carrying members of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) were yesterday lined up at the Beitbridge Border Post as pilgrims travelled to Masvingo's Mbungo shrine for Easter celebrations.
Travellers from Johannesburg and Pretoria reported spending several hours waiting to cross into Zimbabwe, with congestion building up as the annual religious gathering draws thousands.
"We arrived around 9am, and now it's 4pm. We hope to get through and celebrate Good Friday," said one pilgrim, Sister Grace, reflecting the frustration among travellers eager to reach the shrine in time for the commemorations.
The church members are making their way to Mbungo for prayers as part of the ZCC's annual Easter pilgrimage, one of the largest religious gatherings in the region.
Pilgrims are expected to begin returning to South Africa on Sunday following the conclusion of the Easter celebrations.
