SATSA is closely monitoring the situation in Mozambique following violent protests after the country’s election results, amid allegations of vote rigging. Isolated incidents have been reported, and the situation remains volatile.
On Thursday night (October 24), a group of tourists was stranded at the Lebombo/Ressano Garcia Border Post between South Africa and Mozambique but safely crossed into South Africa with assistance from Mozambique police. Sporadic closures continue at the border due to heightened tensions.
Agents should advise clients to avoid the Lebombo Border Post and exercise caution if traveling in the region over the coming days. SATSA will provide updates as more information becomes available.
