I spent 13 hrs at Botswana border

South African based Pilate Moyo, who is also a facilitator, assessor and quality assurer at College of Business and Maritime Studies, describes his time while  going through Botswana to and fro Zimbabwe as nightmarish.

"I spent six hours at Martins Drift Border Post and another 13 hours at Ramakgwebane Border Post just because the immigration officers in Botswana are downright innefficient, lazy, uneducated and lack customer care". His efforts to try and use the Matsiloje Border Post hoping it would be better, were even more frustrating when he spent the whole day there (13 hours).  "I arrived there at 8.00am and only left the border at 4pm. Surprisingly there was no queue on the Zimbabwe side of the border yet there was only one immigration officer who was stamping passports, but there were two on the Batswana side but they failed to speed up the process, we spent a good eight hours as compared to five minutes on the Zimbabwe side of the border.
