I have a chat with Jacques Broodryk, Campaigns Manager at AfriForum, about his new documentary, Open Borders.
This new documentary film produced by AfriForum exposes the lack of border control on South Africa’s border with Zimbabwe and takes a look at the wave of crime this has caused. The documentary also shows the extreme lengths that AfriForum’s neighbourhood- and farm watch volunteers go to, to try and protect locals and their property in this border area against repeated infiltration by smugglers and poachers.
Criminals on the South African side also use this open border to smuggle stolen vehicles in to Zimbabwe. In various places the border fence itself has been stolen and sold for scrap metal, this is how ridiculous the situation has become. Illegal immigration into South Africa from Zimbabwe is also enabled by this porous border.
