Border policing ineffective

Meanwhile, the chairperson of the EFF in KwaZulu-Natal, Vusi Khoza, says border policing in South Africa is not effective.

Manguzi, on the Mozambican border, is plagued by car and livestock theft. The stolen items are then smuggled out of the country.

The situation is persisting despite the installation of concrete barriers at key points. Khoza says the EFF believes that borders should be removed to effectively deal with cross-border crime.

“There is no effective border policing that is why people are able to take crime across the borders. As the EFF, we are saying there should be no borders in the first place because people walk to Mozambique, people walk to Swaziland- we are related.”

“Let’s call off the borders so that everyone will be able to visit each other will be able to identify problem make us we’ll be able to effectively deal with crime we are staying away with colonialism borders so that we don’t have cross-border crime in Africa”, adds Khoza.
