BURS efforts most commended

A few years after introducing scanners at several of the bordergates to detect illicit goods coming into the country, the innovation seems to be bearing fruit.  Officers at our borders have been able to detect smuggled goods, drugs, and possibly weapons coming into the country or in transit to other destinations. 

The scanners have brought more revenue to the country as it is now impossible not to declare goods for taxation. Of course a lot still needs to be done as evidenced by recent reports of large drug consignments entering the country. Most of these drugs are from neighbouring countries such as South Africa and are destined for the local market.
