The Kazungula Bridge and One Stop Post Facility straddling Botswana and Zambia was officially opened by the President of Botswana; Mokgweetsi E. K. Masisi and the President of Zambia, Edgar Lungu on May 10.

The bridge is a ‘key regional integration and is expected to enhance Southern Africa’s access to international markets through connectivity with major seaports,’ Botswana Tourism said.
