The R270,9 million project, according to the presentation, is meant to curb cross-border crime between KZN and Mozambique in the Umkhanyakude District Municipality. A borderline management committee was later established. “KZN transport engineers conducted high-level technical analysis of possible infrastructure interventions to limit crossings and a border integrity improvement plan was adopted. The plan included reducing the ability of criminals to move stolen goods freely across the border through trenches, railway sleepers, and jersey barriers.

“We at Toyota have and continue to implement security enhancements to our new vehicle security systems. We also offer to retrofit these measures to our existing customers at no cost. We are continuously working on new methods to counteract the ever-evolving and new modes of theft.”
