ZIMBABWE and Botswana have agreed to open a new border post in the southern part of Gwanda District next year, a development that is expected to ease congestion at Plumtree Border Post.
The new border post will be at Mlambapeli crossing point along Shashe River.
The agreement came out in a meeting of the two countries’ ministers of home affairs held at Mmamabaka Border Post which is the Botswana side of the Mlambapeli Border Post.
The meeting held on Wednesday was between Zimbabwe’s Home Affairs Co-Minister Cde Kembo Mohadi, and the Botswana Minister of Labour and Home Affairs Edwin Batshu.
The project to set up the border post has been on the drawing board for some years.
Mlambapeli Border Post would be the fourth after the commissioning of Mphoengs and Maitengwe which were also opened to reduce congestion at Plumtree.
