After being blocked due to the demonstrations, the Ressano Garcia border crossing in Maputo province was back to normal last weekend, with people, vehicles and various goods coming and going.

Juca Bata, spokesman for the National Migration Service (SENAMI), was quoted by "Notícias" as saying that the migratory movement recorded on Saturday was quite satisfactory, as it was close to the daily average, estimated at 5,000 people.

He also explained that there wasn't a big increase in the number of travelers yesterday because many stores and establishments in South Africa don't operate on Sundays.

According to the same source, the few vehicles that made it through are trucks that were going to farmas to load fresh produce such as potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and onions, among others, which normally supply the Zimpeto Wholesale Market in Maputo city.

An exponential increase in travelers is expected for today, Monday (18), as the stores will be open.

"The satisfaction is greater because the situation tends to return to normal," he said.

In general, life in the town of Ressano Garcia has returned to normal. Various commercial establishments, especially food stalls, and the currency exchange are operating normally
