The Border Management Authority (BMA) will on Tuesday, 28 April 2026, announce the successful bidders appointed to lead the redevelopment of six strategic ports of entry across South Africa.

The Commissioner of the Border Management Authority, Dr Michael Masiapato, will announce the successful bidders.
