The Border Management Authority BMA has named the successful consortia that will redevelop South Africas six busiest land ports of entry under a R12.5 billion Public-Private Partnership PPP programme aimed at dramatically improving the efficiency of freight and passenger movement across the borders.
BMA Commissioner Dr Michael Masiapato, announced the development on Tuesday during a joint media briefing with Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber, noting that the project targeted the redevelopment of Beitbridge, Lebombo, Oshoek, Maseru Bridge, Kopfontein and Ficksburg Bridge.
These six ports sit at the centre of regional trade and movement. Together, they account for over 80 of cross-border trade and passenger flows through South Africas land borders, Schreiber said.
