South Africa has expressed concern over ongoing protests in Mozambique and the recent escape of prisoners during the unrest. In response, the government has taken steps to ensure the safety of its citizens and maintain regional stability.
The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) issued a statement on Sunday, confirming that security measures have been strengthened along the South Africa-Mozambique border. The government is focused on preventing potential crimes that could arise from the unrest and is closely monitoring the situation.
South Africa is actively engaging with Mozambique at a bilateral level to address the unrest and work towards restoring order in the affected regions. The two countries are collaborating to ensure peace and security, reflecting their strong diplomatic ties.
In a further show of support, President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Professor Sydney Mufamadi as a special envoy to Mozambique. Mufamadi is tasked with engaging relevant stakeholders to help resolve the situation and restore stability.
The South African government has urged citizens to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information that could cause unnecessary panic.
