The Road Freight Association (RFA) calls on President Cyril Ramaphosa to immediately rectify and resolve the unacceptable crisis at Beitbridge, which has already become a massive humanitarian disaster.
Queues of trucks and other vehicles are reaching 20 kilometres in both directions, and truck drivers are taking up to nine days to cross the border.
With no facilities and amenities to accommodate the thousands of people waiting to cross the border, the delays have spiralled into a humanitarian catastrophe.
