They complained about robberies and going without food. The crossing is one of the busiest on the continent, helping to connect countries across southern Africa.

And although the congestion is now cleared, there are worries about what will happen over the busy festive period. So, how did a new toll cause chaos at the border? #AfricaDaily Host: Mpho Lakaje (@mpholakaje) Guests: Pindai Dube and Prosper Chitambara
