South African National Defence Force (SANDF) personnel has been deployed to SA-Zimbabwe Beitbridge boarder for inspection of a fence that was bought down.

Public Works minister Patricia Delille has said in a series of tweets that military personnel were dispersed to the scene the matter is being further investigated.

This was a project by DPWI to secure the borders and repair and replace the fence which has been badly damaged. I have requested that the Department of Defense increase security measures as reinforcement to protect our borders especially during the COVID 19 pandemic.
