Border Pressures and Migration Flows: Understanding the Limpopo Interceptions
The South African National Defence Force intercepted and apprehended over 1,170 undocumented Zimbabwean nationals attempting to enter South Africa through illegal border points in Limpopo in late December 2025, culminating in a tense confrontation that saw one SANDF soldier wounded. The operation highlights ongoing challenges around border security, undocumented migration, regional economic pressures, and the humanitarian dimensions of large cross-border movements. This conversation with Luke M Dzviti of the Zimbabwe Immigration Federation will unpack the drivers behind these crossings, the broader migration dynamics between Zimbabwe and South Africa, and possible policy responses
