Passengers aboard about a hundred 70-seater buses, others in smaller cars and hundreds of other separate holiday makers swarmed the border post from South Africa. “We call this religious tourism. It will increase business in hotels, service stations, shops, curios shops, you name it. It is good business,” she said. Members of the Zimbabwe National Army deployed to rid the border of criminals stepped up patrols within the area, bringing an atmosphere of both anxiety and safety to travellers.

In sheer coincidence, the departure side was full as well and traffic to South Africa had been stopped. Motorists, some who claimed to have arrived at dawn, were yet to depart as the South African side could not cope with the high numbers of arrivals. “I arrived here at 4am and have still not left the Zimbabwean side. I am made to understand the South African side is full to capacity and there is no parking space,” Adrin Moyo said on his way to Polokwane from Gweru.
