The Ministry of Home Affairs wishes to notify importers and exporters of essential goods that Ngwenya Border post will now close at 2200hrs every Wednesday beginning tomorrow 2 September 2020.
This is done to make time for a routine deep cleaning and fumigation exercise as a measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and will continue until further notice.
All cargo that is within BPCCA will be cleared before closure. The Border will continue to operate normally on other days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday), opening at 0700hrs and closing at 0000hrs
The nation is requested to take note of these developments while we keep the workplace safe for all stakeholders.
