"Given the situation, the BMA and stakeholders operating at the port, have taken a decision to close Sani Pass, Boesmansnek and Monontsha ports of entry for operations today until further notice."

 

The authority's Mmemme Mogotsi says the decision was taken after six centimetres of snow fell at Sani Pass. She says travellers can make use of other entry points.
