Covid-19 Checks, Curfew Add to Beitbridge Traffic Jam
Travellers to Zimbabwe are sleeping in their parked vehicles while waiting to cross the Beitbridge border post in Limpopo Province, where queues of trucks, taxis and cars stretch for kilometres. Curfews and Covid-19 testing protocols are blamed for adding to the delays, which can last more than 24-hours in South Africa and seven days in Zimbabwe. With no roadside ablution facilities or running water, the backlog and associated intermingling between drivers has the potential to become a super spreader hotspot.
