Chirundu Border Post is set to undergo a significant upgrade, mirroring the successful transformation of Beitbridge Border Post.

 The move is in sync with the Government's on-going initiative to modernize and bolster the efficiency of the country's key border points.

A source within the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development said that the comprehensive upgrade of Chirundu Border Post is part and parcel of the Government's overarching programme aimed at modernizing and enhancing the efficiency of the nation's vital border points.

"This initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering a seamless and secure cross-border environment, in line with international standards,” said the source.

Furthermore, the insider emphasized the importance of upgrading gate control infrastructure and implementing cutting-edge perimeter fencing. The source stated, "These security measures are crucial in fortifying the post against potential threats and ensuring the safety of all individuals traversing the border."

Additionally the source underscored that an upgrade of key areas such as parking facilities, commercial centres, and staff accommodation is set for implementation.

"These enhancements are going to be pivotal in creating a modern and efficient border post that reflects the nation's commitment to excellence in border control and management," the source asserted.

Moreover, another impactful revelation came when the source detailed the integration of advanced technology into the Chirundu Border Post. "The entire facility will be computerized, streamlining processes and ensuring a more efficient border crossing experience for travellers and traders alike," the source confirmed.
