MOZAMBIQUE BORDER CLOSED DUE TO XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS

The border post between South Africa and Mozambique was closed on 28th March, 2019 after an unruly mob barricaded the N4 near Ressano Garcia, targeting trucks with South African registration numbers.

“Trucks with South African registration plates have been stoned in Mozambique. A volatile crowd of between 200 – 300 Mozambicans barricaded the N4 about four kilometres east of the Resano Garcia border post, where there is a truck stop,”

“It is suspected that this action in related to the Xenophobic attacks which have erupted in various areas of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng this week.”
