JOHANNESBURG - The Border Management Authority (BMA) is releasing its quarterly report and unveiling new security measures to be implemented at all ports of entry.

BMA Commissioner, Michael Masiapato, is expected to unpack the authority’s report for the first quarter of the 2025/2026 financial year at a press conference in Pretoria.

As part of the briefing, Border Management Authority Commissioner Michael Masiapato will also announce new measures aimed at improving traveller verification systems and enhancing the efficiency of law enforcement operations across the country’s borders.

The BMA said it is advancing its operations with the introduction of new tools, in line with its ongoing commitment to strengthening the management of cross-border movement.

Earlier this week, the authority addressed misinformation about a supposed new law regulating the entry or exit of South African citizens.

It has urged the public to verify all travel and immigration-related information via official government channels, including the Department of Home Affairs and the BMA itself.
