Are SA and Zimbabwe melting into only one country?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

With many activists inside the ANC-regime actively campaigning for a ‘no-border policy’ with the rest of the African continent, it looks as if they may be winning: SA and Zimbabwe now are clearly beginning to melt into one country.

The temporary travel document issued as a cross-border arrangement for Beit Bridge and Mussina residents living on both sides of the SA-Zimbabwean border were quietly scrapped by the SA Department of Home Affairs from November 15 this year.

This pass was the result of a 2005 agreement between the SA and Zimbabwean governments to ease the border-crossing movement of people living within a radius of 20 km from the border. Zimbabweans in this region often cross into South Africa temporarily to purchase food and goods in the town of Mussina, where the local supermarket is conducting a roaring trade.

The Dept of Home Affairs in SA said this temporary travel document in lieu of a passport by the Zimbabwean authorities cannot be recognised as a travel document any longer.

“It does not contain information and characteristics as prescribed in regulations of the Immigration Act.

“Holders of such a document should not be permitted entry to the Republic,” the SA Home Affairs circular said.

Chief executive for the Beitbridge Rural District Council Albert Mbedzi told the Herald newspaper he was concerned over the new development as the scrapping of the border passes would impact negatively on the town’s twinning agreement with Musina municipality in South Africa.

The scrapping of these temporary border passes comes a month after the two countries had discussed the abolition of visa requirements for all Zimbabweans travelling to South Africa.

Zimbabwean immigration officials gave their SA counterparts proposals to relax stringent visa requirements as part of measures to eventually abolish the visa to South Africa, the Herald said
