If you are planning to travel into Mozambique during the holidays it is worth it to visit www.mcli.co.za and check the Border Crossing Information.
www.mcli.co.za
My experiences at Ressano Garcia where I go in and out frequently.
Some changes are:
On RSA side SAPS can check the vehicle against the Registration Documents just after you have received the entry slip from security. All copies must be certified. If vehicle is financed a Bank Border Letter is required. Authorisation to drive a vehicle not your own is required. These checks have started (seems to be on some shifts at the moment) and cause even longer queues. Seems the best is to have a Commissioner of Oaths stamp anything that looks like a piece of paper!
On Moz side they are clamping down on the use of runners. (Both in and out)
When you get the form for a non-Moz vehicle they sometimes check passport against vehicle registration certificate to confirm the driver. Again causing longer queues. Other times it is a chaotic as always with no checks.
When you leave Moz you now also get a security slip that is stamped when you do the vehicle papers.
At the bottom of the website given above is a list of useful telephone numbers. The authorities here are making an effort to stop bribery (with mixed success - depends on time of day or night they stop you).
Enjoy the trip.
