BMA launches its newest digital security initiative
The Border Management Authority (BMA) has today launched its newest digital security initiative- which is a vehicle targeting systems, at the Lebombo Port of Entry in Komatipoort.
The migration to digital border system, led by Commissioner Michael Masiapato, marks a crucial shift in how South Africa manages its borders , transitioning from indiscriminate manual inspections to intelligence-led and technology-driven targeted interceptions.
Masiapato has highlighted some of the positive results from the system.
“As of today, we’re sitting at about six- ports and we’re looking at reaching to eight- ultimately by February 2027.
So, even if this operation system is at these few ports- it has demonstrated efficacy in terms of what it has been able to do – R46- million worth of vehicles intercepted and returned to their rightful owners,” adds Masiapato.
