Nambian, Botswanan nationals can now cross mutual border freely

Residents will only need their identification documents to cross the border between the two countries.

‘Our two countries not only share a common border, but also a common people and heritage, ‘Namibian president Hage Geingob said on Friday, 9 September according to ZimLive.

‘A symbiotic and inter-dependent relationship exists along our common borders. Therefore, I call on our senior officials to fast-track the implementation of the usage of Identity Documents (IDs) as travel documents between the two countries, without delay.’
