    Default Monkey Pox

    Just a warning...

    If you are coming through Tlokweng at peak times, eg Sunday afternoon, expect significant delays.

    From here : https://www.freightnews.co.za/articl...rade-crossings

    "Land borders on main trade routes that are affected as of Sunday, 19 August, include the Kazungula One-stop Border Post with Zambia in the north-east, Botswana’s Tlokweng, Martin’s Drift and Pioneer Gate crossings into South Africa, and its Mamuno transit into Namibia."

    No checking at Ramotswa, so smaller borders seem to be clear for now!

    Crossed Pioneer over the September long weekend. Very little traffic, but the testing was a non-issue, took 30 seconds for both me and my wife.
