Mphoengs: A Border Post at the Centre of a Bigger Opportunity
The Parliamentary verification visit to Mphoengs Border Post has revealed a facility whose importance extends well beyond the routine processing of travellers.
Situated along the Zimbabwe-Botswana boundary, Mphoengs has become an important link for communities on both sides of the border and, increasingly, part of Zimbabwe’s response to regional population movements. The Joint Portfolio Committee on Defence, Home Affairs and Security Services and the Thematic Committee on Peace and Security visited the border post as part of their assessment of Reception and Transit Centres for Zimbabweans returning from South Africa and people travelling through Zimbabwe towards Malawi.

Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage , Kazembe Kazembe: ZEC should not be the creator of the database of the Voters’ Roll and then be the checker as well; they cannot create and then check. Examiners or those who mark examinations do not set the examination, write and mark it. Someone sets the examination and someone marks it. Cambridge sets an examination and someone marks it here. ZIMSEC sets an examination and someone conducts the examination process, which in this case is the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. They conduct the election. They check against a register that has been created elsewhere; separation of powers, checks and balances.

I had the pleasure of receiving Mr. Raphael Tayerera Faranisi, Secretary for Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is one of @UNODC’s partners and this call offered an opportunity to explore opportunities for expanding cooperation on a range of areas, including anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, drug control, addressing gender-based violence and expanding access to justice.
I congratulated Zimbabwe on its election as a non-permanent member of the @UN Security Council for 2027–2028, underscoring the importance of Africa’s voice and representation on this important body.
I look forward to closer working relations with the Republic of Zimbabwe as we execute our mandate at UNODC.
