The Sani Pass border that links South Africa with the mountain kingdom of Lesotho has been reopened.
The Sani Pass was opened on Thursday after minister of co-operative governance and traditional affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced its reopening in an update to disaster management regulations on Wednesday.
“The 18 land borders which were partially operational, will be fully operational.”
“And the 35 land borders which were closed, will remain closed except for the Sani Pass border post which will reopen on October 22,” she said.
Meanwhile, e
arlier this month, minister of international relations and co-operation Naledi Pandor explained that the reopening of ports and borders would be done while following the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines on public health.
“The gradual reopening of borders and ports of entry informed by a cautious approach means that a limited number of ports of entry will be opened,” said Pandor.
“By reopening these selected ports of entry and borders, we will be guided by the epidemiological and transmission rate both in SA and travellers’ countries of origin.”
