from his ministry were in Beitbridge to engage their South African counterparts in a meeting that would culminate in another one at ministerial level.
He was speaking during a Cross Border Bus Operators Annual award in the capital on Thursday evening.
“Officials in my ministry left Harare for Beitbridge for that meeting. A joint co-operation through co-ordinated border post management in the elimination of such inconveniences brought about by inefficient and poor services at entry points will thus pave way for a more economically productive system.
“Such a system includes setting up of one stop border posts on all major posts just as our government did at Beitbridge and Chirundu,” he said.
Government, said Munodawafa, was aware of the delays experienced by bus operators and the travelling public at entry points and would work round the clock to mitigate the inconveniences.
“At the Chirundu border, along the North South transport corridor, I am informed that, waiting times for commercial traffic have been reduced from four to five days to a maximum of two days, and often to a few hours,” he said.
