The Ressano Garcia border, between Mozambique and South Africa, will be open 24 hours a day, starting next month.
The South African Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Lindiwe Sisulu, gave a joint press conference with her Mozambican counterpart, José Pacheco, after talks between the two countries’ governments during a visit by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday to our country.
“The Mozambican government has requested that by April the Lebombo border in Ressano-Garcia be operational 24 hours and we promise that this will be done,” said Sisulu.
Without going into details, the head of South African diplomacy said that one of the issues raised by the Mozambican government, to be analysed with a certain urgency, is visa facilitation for Mozambicans living in South Africa.
President Ramaphosa came to present himself to the Mozambican Head of State, Filipe Nyusi, as President of South Africa and chairperson of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
During the talks, the delegations of the two countries, led by their respective presidents, reviewed a number of economic and political issues.
According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, José Pacheco, it was also clear the interest to step up economic cooperation. “What is already being implemented in the various areas of infrastructure, transport and communications, natural resources, conservation areas and agriculture must be strengthened. Therefore, the challenge is to promote the mechanisms to accelerate and leverage economic cooperation in the most varied areas, ” said Pacheco.
Minister Pacheco said that the first step to be taken after this working visit will be the 3rd meeting of the South African-Mozambique Bi-National Commission (BNC) to be held in South Africa, where all matters will be analysed in depth and decisions taken.
Ramaphosa visited Maputo as part of a tour of SADC countries after coming to power last month following the departure of Jacob Zuma. He arrived in Mozambique, after visiting Angola, which presides over SADC’s defence and security agency, and Botswana. After Saturday’s one-day visit to Maputo, Ramaphosa visited Zimbabwe, on Sunday.
