Border Management Authority procures 40 staff bodycams to arrest corruption at SA’s borders

Border Management Authority procures 40 staff bodycams to arrest corruption at SA’s borders! The Border Management Authority (BMA) has procured 40 body cameras for staffers at various borders to root out corruption and monitor the service they provide.

During a briefing in Pretoria on Thursday, Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber announced their efforts of using technology to assist in illicit activities at the country’s land and sea borders.

Among these efforts is the utilisation of drone technology, which will be deployed over the busy Easter period to monitor any illegal movements along the border routes.

Body cameras will play an integral part of monitoring BMA staff at some of the country’s land and sea borders in an effort to root out corruption.

“For the very first time, the BMA can now see what’s happening in the personal exchange at the port environment. In other words, if there’s an official who needs to stamp a passport, if there is someone coming through the port environment and, of course, if someone is trying to solicit a bribe or engage in other kinds of sort of corrupt activity, the BMA operation centre will be able to see what is going on in that exact environment,” said Schreiber.

He said they also plan to procure speed boats in the future in respect of securing the sea borders.
