Zimbabwean authorities have blamed inadequate parking as a reason for congestion at the Beitbridge border post on the South African side of the border.

Beitbridge is among the busiest border posts in the Southern African Development Community, with volumes rising to more than 12-thousand travellers and three-and-a-half-thousand vehicles a day during the holidays.


Media reports says this forced travellers and long-distance truck drivers to queue for hours on end in recent days to be cleared before crossing the border.
