LIMPOPO – This is according to the Department of Home Affairs, who made the announcement on Friday, saying over flooding was the reason for the closure.
The port of entries include Zanzibar, Platjan and Pontdrift ports of entry.
The department states that at Platjan, water has been covering the nearby bridge since 24 February and travelers are not able to cross the border due to the high levels.
At Zanzibar, the river has been flooded since 16 January and travellers are thus prevented from crossing to reach the port of entry.
Although the water levels at Pontdrift have dropped, travellers are still unable to cross the border.
The department has advised travelers using these three ports of entry to use the Groblers Bridge port of entry.
On the Botswana border, the Bray port of entry is also affected by the high levels of the river and travelers are advised to use the Makopong Port of Entry.
