Police beef up security along closed Matsiloje border

The border closed early this week as a measure to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus. Zimbabwe has so far registered two cases of coronavirus. The other victim of the virus has since died. The recent case in Zimbabwe has sparked fears that the virus might spread to Botswana. 

“Since Friday we have been patrolling the borderline within the village and I can assure the public that everything is in control at the moment within our policing area,” superintendent Charles Mbengwa, station commander at Matsiloje police station, said.
