defenceWeb Written by defenceWeb - Military motorcycle patrol in the Beit Bridge area. Shambolic scenes at at least two of South Africaâs major land ports of entry with deaths reported while waiting to be processed saw renewed calls for speedy implementation of the Border Management Authority (BMA) Act with its planned one-stop border posts. This is in addition to what News24 Wire, as reported in The Citizen, said would see the Department of Defence (DoD) âlead in future border fence initiativesâ. The quote was attributed to Imtiaz Fazel, acting director-general in Minister Patricia De Lilleâs Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DWPI). He was speaking during a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) meeting discussing the multi-million Rand spend on a failed fence adjacent to the Beit Bridge port of entry, ostensibly part of government effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
