Botswana, South Africa: Ramatlabama border post reopens as of late May 21 following brief strike-related closure /update 1
Officials in Botswana announce reopening of Ramatlabama border with South Africa after brief closure May 21 due to truck drivers' strike.
Authorities in Botswana have announced that the Ramatlabama border post that connects the country with South Africa has reopened as of late May 21 following a brief closure earlier in the day. The border post was reportedly closed in connection with a strike among South African truck drivers. The Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) has reported that "normal operations have resumed" at the border post and "traffic is moving freely."
Residual transport delays may nonetheless affect the Ramatlabama border post and routes leading to it over the coming hours, especially in the event that a traffic backlog materialized during the border post's closure.
Allow extra time and reconfirm the status of the Ramatlabama border post if planning to cross the Botswana-South Africa border via the crossing. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
