JOHANNESBURG - Thousands of people have been intercepted, trying to cross illegally into South Africa at Beitbridge.
While Border Management Authority (BMA) has indicated that it is yet to provide a full report on their operations over the Easter holidays, it has praised the effectiveness of its enhanced security measures.
According to BMA Commissioner Michael Masiapato the deployment of technology has been very positive.

This includes the use of drones and amphibious vehicles to support border security operations.
"To an extent people are aware that they are watching them," he said.
Masiapato noted the high volumes of movements across the country's busiest ports of entry in the last 24 hour.
But remains confident in the Easter operations conducted.
"We will aggregate all the figures as we close the operation officially on Thursday. We should be able to then give a full report back in terms of how everything had unfolded.
