Operations at Qacha’s Nek Port of Entry (PoE) in Matatiele between South Africa and Lesotho have been temporarily suspended due to heavy snowfall in the area
29 July 2026 | From Arrive Alive
The Commissioner of the Border Management Authority (BMA), Dr Michael Masiapato, wishes to inform travellers and stakeholders that operations at Qacha’s Nek Port of Entry (PoE) in Matatiele between South Africa and Lesotho have been temporarily suspended due to heavy snowfall in the area.
The heavy snowfall has resulted in unsafe weather conditions, thus necessitating temporary suspension of daily operations – a decision taken in the interest of travellers, our staff and the entire border management community in the value chain. The decision to temporarily suspend operations as a precautionary measure was taken in consultation with our counterparts in Lesotho.
Travellers and commercial operators are advised to postpone their travel where possible. Alternatively, travellers can use Telle Bridge PoE which is located approximately 190 kilometres away. The BMA will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as conditions improve. We urge the public to exercise caution and adhere to all official advisories.
