LEBOMBO UPDATE- 4 MAY 2026 The Commissioner of the Border Management Authority (BMA), Dr Michael Masiapato reports that operations at the Lebombo Port of Entry have stabilised following increased traveller volumes experienced over the past weekend. On 3 May 2026, a total of 24 554 traveller movements were recorded, comprising 15 807 arrivals and 8 648 departures. The high volumes were attributed to month-end travel patterns, which resulted in longer queues during peak periods. The surge in movements began on Saturday, 2 May 2026, where a total of 21 920 travellers were processed. This included more than 10 404 travellers departing South Africa to Mozambique, while arrivals accounted for 11 516 travellers. Through coordinated efforts with key stakeholders, the BMA implemented operational measures to effectively manage the increased volumes and ensure the continued facilitation of legitimate travel. As of this morning, traffic flow at the port has significantly subsided, with minimal movement currently being observed. The Authority extends its appreciation to all officials and stakeholders for their coordinated efforts in managing the increased volumes.
