Heavy rains and flooding in the Limpopo region have forced the South African Border Management Authority to temporarily close three key border posts with Botswana, including Grobler’s Bridge, Martins Drift, and Pont Drift. The closures come as rising water levels in the Limpopo River render these crossings unsafe for both vehicles and pedestrians, disrupting cross-border trade and travel.
Officials have advised travelers and transport operators to use alternative border posts, such as Ramatlabama and Skilpadshek, until conditions improve. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and will reopen the affected crossings once it is safe to do so.
The border closures are expected to impact regional logistics, particularly affecting miners and traders who rely on these routes. The government has urged commuters to stay informed about updates on border operations and plan their journeys accordingly.
