Pretoria: Visitors travelling to South Africa from Mozambique for the historic 2010 FIFA World Cup received a boost today, Monday 7 June 2010, following the signing in Pretoria of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between South Africa and Mozambique for joint temporary clearance.
The MoU which was signed by the South African Home Affairs Minister, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and her Mozambican counterpart, Minister of Interior, Jose Pacheco will come into effect from Tuesday, 8 June 2010 and will remain in effect for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The objective of the agreement is to expedite the entry and exit of visitors from both countries for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup through the Lebombo/Ressano Garcia Border Post. In this regard, the MOU will enable both countries to coordinate their activities with respect to joint border clearance and the prevention and detection of offences relating to immigration controls.
The MoU forms part of the government’s commitments and guarantees to FIFA to ensure a successful 2010 FIFA World Cup.
