The South African Revenue Services (SARS) has advised stakeholders of the temporary closure of the SARS Beitbridge office after an official tested positive of Covid-19.
According to Customs Branch Operations – Beitbridge, Sello Kgomo, the border was closed to allow health authorities to carry out fumigations to minimize the chances of having more infections.
Presently the South Africans are busy clearing commercial traffic, which is within their customs yard pending further action. They have stopped accepting trucks from either side of the border until the fumigation is done.
