The One-Stop Border Post Bill aims to streamline border processes by establishing common control zones where South Africa and neighbouring states conduct joint border enforcement. It allows for shared law enforcement, facilitates efficient cross-border movement of goods and people, and enhances regional cooperation. The bill emphasises modernising border infrastructure, ensuring sovereignty, and upholding human rights. It involves a public-private partnership funding model for six key ports of entry. The legislation is seen as essential for economic transformation and security.
The One-Stop Border Post Bill proposes establishing joint control zones at borders to streamline processes for goods, vehicles, and people. It aims to reduce delays, enhance efficiency, and strengthen cooperation between South Africa and neighbouring states. The bill also provides for extraterritorial enforcement of laws and mutual obligations for readmitting people or goods denied entry. Public input is sought to ensure that these changes balance economic priorities with security and sovereignty.
