The government has extended operating hours at the Victoria Falls Border Post to run 24 hours a day, according to an Extraordinary Government Gazette published on Thursday.
The post was previously open between 6AM and 10PM.
General Notice 2265A of 2025, issued under the Immigration Act, declares that the border post, one of Zimbabwe’s busiest ports of entry, will now operate around the clock with immediate effect.
The notice was signed by Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage secretary Raphael Faranisi.
The move is expected to facilitate tourism and trade, and improve cross-border movement between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The announcement came ahead of Friday’s meeting between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Zambian counterpart Hakainde Hichilema in Harare for the inaugural session of the Zambia-Zimbabwe Bi-National Commission. - Kukurigo
