Zimbabwean and South African officials will meet next week ahead of South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa visit to Zimbabwe on March 12.
Ramaphosa will visit Zimbabwe for the Third session of the two countries’ Bi-National Commission (BNC). The two countries held their last BNC in October 2017. Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to South Africa Mr David Hamadziripi said:
We are going to have meetings with relevant South African officials next week to prepare for the BNC. It is important to note that the BNC, which last met in Pretoria in October 2017, will review co-operation across the board. We expect issues around trade and investment, energy, transport, health, security and defence among others to be the major talking points.
He said one of the major issues expected to dominate the discussions was the establishment of a One Stop Border Post (OSBP) at Beitbridge.
